PCL reconstruction is a surgical procedure that replaces a torn posterior cruciate ligament — the strong ligament running through the centre of the knee that prevents the shin bone from sliding backward — with a new tendon graft. It is recommended when a complete PCL tear causes persistent knee instability that has not improved with bracing and physiotherapy, or when the PCL is torn alongside other knee ligaments. The graft is most commonly harvested from the patient's own hamstring, quadriceps, or patellar tendon, or sourced from a tissue bank, and is secured into precisely drilled tunnels in the thigh and shin bones. The operation is performed arthroscopically in the great majority of cases, using small incisions and a camera rather than opening the knee fully. Most patients spend one to two nights in hospital and then follow a structured rehabilitation programme lasting nine to twelve months before returning to demanding sport.
The most common approach: a single tendon graft is passed through small keyhole incisions and anchored in bone tunnels to restore the main stabilising bundle of the PCL.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests for this variant: MRI of the knee (if not done recently), X-ray of the knee — AP and lateral views, CBC, Blood sugar, KFT, PT/INR, ECG, Chest X-ray. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,000 – $4,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~3 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~9 days recommended
Total stay: approx 14 days
Two separate grafts recreate both natural fibre bundles of the PCL through keyhole incisions, aiming for more anatomically faithful stability — a technically more demanding procedure.
