Oct 30, 2023 · The posterior cruciate ligament prevents anterior displacement of the femur on the tibia and posterior displacement of the tibia on the femur. It functions to limit anterior rolling and displacement of the femoral condyle during extension and helps to prevent hyperflexion of the knee joint.
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the strongest and largest intra-articular ligament in human knee and the primary posterior stabilizer of the knee. It comprises of 2 functional bundles: the larger anterolateral bundle (ALB) and the smaller posteromedial bundle (PMB).
The posterior cruciate ligament ( PCL) is a ligament in each knee of humans and various other animals. It works as a counterpart to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It connects the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia to the medial condyle of the femur.
What is a PCL Injury? The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the strongest ligament in the knee. It extends from the top-rear surface of the tibia (bone between the knee and ankle) to the bottom-front surface of the femur (bone that extends from the pelvis to the knee).
Aug 8, 2023 · Introduction. The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is one of the four major ligaments of the knee joint that functions to stabilize the tibia on the femur. It originates from the anterolateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle in the area of the intercondylar notch and inserts onto the posterior aspect of the tibial plateau.
Introduction. The most powerful ligament in the knee joint is the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). [1] . The role of the PCL is to prevent the tibia from moving backwards relative to the femur. [2] . Injuries to the PCL often occur with other knee structures (ligaments, meniscus) while infrequently occurring in isolation. [3] .
