Patients With An Isolated PCL Injury Improve As Much As The ACL Patients From Surgery Measured By KOOS After 2 Years

Objectives: Background: Isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are severe knee injuries, often caused by a sports injury or a traffic accident and can be treated either conservatively (with a brace and exercises) or by reconstructive surgery. Results reported after reconstructive surgery contain a mixture of isolated and combined knee ligament injuries. Consequently the results after such surgery are not documented thoroughly. Hypothesis: Patients undergoing PCL reconstruction demonstrate the same improvements as patients treated with ACL reconstruction measured by Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) two years postoperatively.
