A member asked:
I injured my knee a month ago, i had an mri and it showed a partial tear of my pcl. i have an ability test in 2 months, can it heal with treatment?

Nope!: The ACL and PCL are surrounded with joint fluid so they do not heal. Joint fluid could be named "No Stick" Fluid. Sticking together is the first part of healing, In Any Case, partial tears of the PCL and even full tears of the PCL often do not need to heal or be treated, BUT SOME DO. So a second opinion by a sports orthopedic surgeon is a good investment.
