Advanced Arthroscopic PCL Surgery by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
MBBS, MS (Orthopedics) · Consultant, Narayana Hospital
Overview
PCL reconstruction is a specialized arthroscopic procedure performed to repair or replace a torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in the knee. The PCL is one of the key stabilizing ligaments that prevents the tibia from moving backward relative to the femur.
PCL injuries are less common than ACL injuries and usually occur due to high-impact trauma such as road accidents, sports injuries, or falls. A damaged PCL can lead to knee instability, pain, swelling, and difficulty in walking or performing physical activities.
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced arthroscopic PCL reconstruction using precise surgical techniques and high-definition visualization. The torn ligament is replaced with a graft, restoring the normal biomechanics and stability of the knee joint.
This minimally invasive approach ensures less pain, faster recovery, smaller scars, and better long-term outcomes for patients.

Step by Step
A detailed walkthrough of the surgical process
Step 01 / 07
Detailed clinical examination, MRI scan, and planning for graft selection are performed before surgery.
Step 02 / 07
The procedure is carried out under spinal or general anesthesia. The knee is positioned for optimal arthroscopic access.
Step 03 / 07
An arthroscope is inserted through small incisions to visualize the joint and confirm PCL injury along with associated damage.
Step 04 / 07
A tendon graft (hamstring or allograft) is prepared to replace the damaged PCL.
Step 05 / 07
Precise tunnels are created in the femur and tibia to allow accurate placement of the graft.
Step 06 / 07
The graft is passed through the tunnels and fixed using specialized fixation devices to restore stability.
Step 07 / 07
The incisions are closed, and a sterile dressing along with knee support is applied.
