In this medial view of the flexed knee, the lateral femoral condyle has been removed to reveal the structure of the PCL. Because the anterolateral bundle is stretched and the posteromedial bundle relaxed during flexion, excessive flexion in the form of hyperflexion causes tensile stress, shown in red, on the anterolateral bundle of the PCL that leads to PCL injury.
Rehabilitation protocols for post-op patients with repaired or reconstructed posterolateral corner injuries focus on strengthening and achieving full range of motion. Similar to nonoperative treatments, the patient is non-weightbearing for 6 weeks followed by a return to partial weight-bearing on crutches. Range of motion exercises begin first ...
The PCL is located within the knee joint where it stabilizes the articulating bones, particularly the femur and the tibia, during movement.It originates from the lateral edge of the medial femoral condyle and the roof of the intercondyle notch [2] then stretches, at a posterior and lateral angle, toward the posterior of the tibia just below its articular surface.
The double PCL sign is best observed on sagittal T2-weighted or proton density-weighted MRI images. [5] Key features include: [6] Duplicated PCL Appearance: The native PCL appears as a curvilinear low-signal intensity structure in its typical anatomical location.The displaced meniscal fragment appears as a second parallel low-signal structure inferior to the PCL.
Asked if he could return to All-Pro form this season (he earned such honors in 2020 and 2022), Alexander said he could but needed more than three weeks of non-contact practice to recover.
Physical therapy: To restore range of motion, strength, and stability. Weight-bearing restrictions: Gradual progression of weight-bearing activities based on surgical repair. Return to sports is usually permitted after 4–6 months, depending on the success of meniscus repair and concomitant injuries (e.g., ACL tear).
Pre-rehabilitation before ACL reconstruction surgery has been shown to help with recovery post operation. Increased knee extensor strength and range of motion for those who participated in a pre-rehabilitation program in the first 3 to 6 weeks, but no significant change at 3 to 6 months. [37]
The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag.
