We reviewed 30 patients operated on because of acute (n = 14) or chronic (n = 16) rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) with an average follow-up time of 6.9 years. The clinical outcome was expressed using the OAK and the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) evaluation forms.
The conventional approach to the diagnosis and treatment of severe knee injuries is arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Since arthroscopy is an invasive technique that carries risks, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used for diagnosis. MRI is potentially assoc
