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.
Cruciate means cross. 1  The anterior cruciate ligament crosses the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) to form an X or cross. The ACL is in front of the PCL, which is why it is named anterior while the PCL is posterior, or behind it. 2  A grade 1 sprain has mild damage and the knee joint is still stable.
