What is Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Injury? The posterior cruciate ligament, or PCL, is one of four ligaments important to the stability of the knee joint. The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, sits just in front of the PCL. The ACL is much better known, in part because injuries to the ACL are much more commonly diagnosed than injuries to the PCL.
PCL injuries often occur in conjunction with injuries to other structures of the knee. Symptoms: Sometimes an isolated PCL injury (one that does not involve other parts of the knee) may simply produce some swelling that goes down after a few days. Patients may therefore not visit their doctor.
