Arthroscopic PCL Reconstruction in Delhi NCR
Arthroscopic PCL reconstruction is performed to restore knee stability when the posterior cruciate ligament is damaged and daily movement becomes unreliable. At SMH Prime Ortho, treatment focuses on correcting instability, protecting joint structures, and supporting steady functional recovery through carefully planned surgical and rehabilitation pathways.
Overview of Arthroscopic PCL Reconstruction
PCL reconstruction involves replacing a damaged posterior cruciate ligament using a graft, carried out through minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. Small incisions allow controlled visual access to the knee joint while limiting tissue disruption. At SMH Prime Ortho, surgical planning considers injury mechanism, joint alignment, activity level, and associated ligament or cartilage involvement to ensure an appropriate and individualised approach.
Common Symptoms and Conditions Treated
Arthroscopic PCL reconstruction may be advised for patients experiencing:
- Knee instability, especially when walking downhill or downstairs
- Deep knee pain following trauma or impact injury
- Swelling that recurs after activity
- Difficulty controlling knee movement during load-bearing tasks
- Sensation of the knee shifting backwards
- Reduced confidence in knee support during daily movement
Symptoms may develop gradually or persist after injury, requiring specialist evaluation.
When Should You Consult an Orthopaedic Specialist?
Persistent knee instability or discomfort after trauma should be assessed early to prevent secondary joint damage. Early consultation allows accurate identification of ligament involvement and timely planning of treatment. At SMH Prime Ortho, patients from Anand Vihar, Karkardooma, and East Delhi receive detailed evaluation to determine whether reconstruction is required or if alternative care is suitable. Prompt assessment supports better long-term joint stability.
Knee Instability During Movement
Difficulty controlling knee motion suggests ligament compromise.
Pain After Trauma
Ongoing pain following injury requires orthopaedic assessment.
Recurrent Swelling
Repeated swelling may indicate internal joint stress.
Backward Knee Shift Sensation
This symptom often points towards PCL involvement.
Difficulty with Stairs or Slopes
Problems during downhill movement reflect instability.
Poor Improvement with Physiotherapy
Persistent symptoms despite therapy may require surgical review.
Treatment Options Available at SMH Prime Ortho
Non-Surgical Treatment Approaches
In selected cases, early management may include:
- Physiotherapy to improve muscle control and joint support
- Bracing to limit instability during activity
- Pain management tailored to symptom severity
- Activity modification to reduce strain on the knee
These measures may help in partial injuries or low-demand situations.
