Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Injury
A PCL injury, though less common than an ACL injury, can significantly impact knee stability. The PCL sits at the back of the knee and prevents the tibia (shin bone) from moving backwards. Symptom may include pain, swelling, and a feeling of instability, especially when walking or on stairs.
