Initial treatment for PCL tears is non-operative. Range of motion is typically initiated early. Flexion may be done in a prone position to limit posterior sag. While quadriceps strengthening is essential, resisted hamstring exercises are generally avoided initially because they pull the tibia in a relatively posterior position. The references include two recent review articles on the evaluation and treatment of PCL tears. The Wind et al article reviews the evaluation and treatment of PCL tears and the Margheritini et al paper is a general review article on the PCL anatomy and injuries.
