A member asked:
Which movements are the usual ones that tear a pcl in the knee? what movements should i avoid? are certain sports worse on the pcl?
13 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
PCL: Pcl is the strongest ligament of the knee. An injury to the PCL requires a powerful force. A common cause of injury is a bent knee hitting a dashboard in a car accident or a football player falling on a knee that is bent. Any team sports that require running and jumping can cause PCL injuries, particularly soccer, football and basketball.
