A member asked:
I had a pcl repair about 4 yrs ago. all's been good, but i recently experienced pain from pcl looseness. dr. told me pt should alleviate much of the looseness/pain (my affected quad is 30% smaller). is this true? should i now be concerned longterm?

Your Dr is the best one to tell you if it is true or not in people like you who live where you live. No one else can. And ask for probabilities that it will apply to you so you can weigh what to do or not do.

Many PCL injuries can be managed without surgery. Depends on your activity level and what it looks like on MRI. PT is a reasonable conservative option for PCL laxity.
