Excerpt

In literature, the reported incidence of posterior cruciate ligament injury ranges from 1% in people involved in sport activities to 44% in people involved in non-sport-related trauma [1]. Moreover, while isolated PCL lesions are more frequent in athletes, Fanelli et al. [2] demonstrated that 95% of PCL injuries observed in an emergency department are combined with other ligamentous lesions. Among these combined injuries, PCL and medial collateral ligament (MCL) lesions are relatively rare (9.4% of multiple ligament injuries involving PCL), and they are challenging regarding diagnosis as well as treatment. …
