Posterior cruciate ligament injuries.
Until recently, the function of the posterior cruciate ligament has been poorly understood and the traditional wisdom is that injuries to this ligament do not result in any appreciable functional disability. There is increasing evidence, however, that the natural history may not be as benign as was originally assumed. This review seeks to analyse current knowledge concerning the function, diagnosis, natural history and treatment of this injury.
