Advanced Arthroscopic PCL Reconstruction by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
MBBS, MS (Orthopedics) · Consultant, Narayana Hospital
Overview
PCL reconstruction is a specialized arthroscopic surgery performed to replace a torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in the knee. The PCL is a key ligament that stabilizes the knee by preventing 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 traffic accidents, sports injuries, or falls. A damaged PCL can result in knee instability, pain, swelling, and difficulty in walking or performing physical activities.
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced PCL reconstruction using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. The torn ligament is replaced with a graft (typically hamstring tendon or allograft), restoring knee stability and normal biomechanics.
This approach ensures smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and improved long-term outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.

Step by Step
A detailed walkthrough of the surgical process
Step 01 / 07
Clinical examination, MRI scan, and pre-surgical planning including graft selection.
Step 02 / 07
The procedure is performed under spinal or general anesthesia. The knee is prepared for arthroscopy.
Step 03 / 07
An arthroscope is inserted to evaluate the knee joint and confirm ligament damage.
Step 04 / 07
A tendon graft (hamstring or allograft) is prepared for reconstruction.
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.
Step 07 / 07
Incisions are closed, and a knee brace is applied for post-operative support.
