PCL Repair Surgery
PCL Repair Surgery
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) injuries can lead to knee instability and pain, particularly during physical activities. Dr. Aman Dua offers expert PCL repair surgery to restore knee function and help you return to an active lifestyle.
What is PCL Repair?
The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is one of the major ligaments in the knee, responsible for stabilizing the joint. A tear or injury to the PCL can cause knee instability, particularly when performing activities like running, jumping, or changing direction. PCL repair surgery involves reconstructing or repairing the damaged ligament to restore knee stability.
Dr. Aman Dua uses advanced surgical techniques to perform PCL repair, including minimally invasive arthroscopy. This results in smaller incisions, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.

PCL Repair Process
PCL repair surgery is typically performed using an arthroscopic approach, which involves small incisions and the use of a camera to guide the surgeon. The process generally includes:
Initial Consultation: Dr. Aman Dua will evaluate the extent of the injury through a physical examination and diagnostic tests such as MRI.
Surgical Procedure: The surgery involves using a graft (from the patient’s own tissue or a donor) to reconstruct the damaged PCL. The surgery is done with the aid of arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique.
Rehabilitation: After surgery, physical therapy plays a critical role in restoring knee strength, range of motion, and stability. The recovery period may vary, but most patients can return to sports after 6-9 months.
