Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic PCL surgery is used to treat injuries or tears of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), which commonly occur due to accidents or falls where the knee hits the ground directly. This causes the PCL, located deep within the knee, to tear, impacting daily movement and activity.
Signs of PCL Tear
Injury from direct impact
Occurs when the knee hits the ground directly from the front or back, leading to an injury.
Deep pain at the back of the knee
Feeling pain or tightness at the back of the knee, especially when bending or walking up and down stairs.
Knee swelling
Swelling may gradually appear within 1-2 days, although some may feel tightness more than sudden swelling.
Instability when bearing weight
The knee feels as if it might collapse or weaken, especially when standing or bearing weight on that leg for a long time.
Diagnosis
At S Spine & Joint Hospital, we focus on identifying the underlying cause before treatment. Our expert doctors will conduct a thorough evaluation. Every patient with symptoms indicative of musculoskeletal issues must undergo X-ray and MRI scans to assess pain and joint damage, allowing us to choose the most appropriate treatment path.
Treatment Technique
We stand out with our signature S-Quality treatment standard, which consists of three core components:
🎯 Trained under hospital-standard protocols to ensure precision and safety.
🎯 With deep knowledge of treatment protocols and strong coordination with physicians to shorten recovery times.
🎯 Designed specifically for spine and joint treatments, including world-class surgical tools. The absence of any one component may compromise treatment efficiency.
ขั้นตอนการรักษา
Specialized, cutting-edge technology is designed specifically for spinal and joint treatments, such as state-of-the-art surgical tools from around the world and an open MRI that can adjust angles from lying down to standing. This helps in precise diagnosis and rapid treatment. Missing any of these elements can impact the effectiveness of patient care.
Identifying the Cause
Diagnosis begins with posture-specific X-rays and upright MRI scans to evaluate abnormalities in cervical discs. Physicians combine both sets of images for a highly accurate assessment.
Antiresorptive Agents
Patients will receive pre-treatment instructions, such as fasting or informing the doctor of any existing conditions or allergies. A thorough physical examination will also be conducted.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injury or PCL) Arthroscopic PCL Surgery
The doctor performs arthroscopic surgery using a small camera inserted into the knee joint to inspect the tear in the damaged PCL. It is then repaired using a tendon from another part of the body, such as the patellar tendon or hamstring, to restore knee
Follow-Up and Recovery
After treatment, the doctor and a specialized support team will monitor the recovery progress and evaluate the patient's condition to ensure pain relief, no complications, and a full return to normal life.
