A postoperative physical therapy regimen consisting of no active flexion and active extension from 90 to 0 degrees is most appropriate for a combined PCL and posterolateral corner injury. The first 4 weeks often consist of hinged knee bracing and crutches with partial weightbearing to allow the posterolateral corner to heal along with quadriceps exercises (quad sets and straight leg raises). Active knee flexion is avoided in the immediate postoperative period as hamstring contraction has the potential to subluxate the tibia posteriorly and compromise the repair.
