A member asked:
Can you tear you lateral meniscus by walking the wrong way? where is the posterior cruciate ligament in your knee? i am having a lot of knee pain
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCL: Yes you can tear either meniscus by walking wrong/misstep. The PCL is in the middle of the knee and posterior (towards the back if the knee). It functions to prevent posterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur.
