Can PCL tear heal by itself ?

#shortsindia #ligamenttear #drpankajwalecha Can Isolated PCL Tear heal without surgery? The ability of an isolated PCL tear to heal without surgery depends on several factors: -Bone Avulsion: If the PCL tears away a small piece of bone (avulsion fracture) and the bone fragment remains in its original position, the injury may heal naturally with proper rehabilitation. -Displaced Fracture: If the bone fragment has shifted from its original position, surgical intervention is often necessary to stabilize the bone and promote proper healing. -Mid-substance Tear: If the PCL is torn within its middle portion (mid-substance tear), a period of observation and conservative management (rest, ice, compression, elevation) may be recommended. This allows the knee to settle down, swelling to subside, and any associated injuries to heal. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations based on the specific characteristics of your injury.
