Abstract

The posterior cruciate ligament is one of the most controversial issues in sports medicine. There is no consensus in the literature with respect to its incidence, natural history, and treatment indications. Injury evaluation is often underestimated, with the result of misdiagnosed injury or wrong treatment. This contribution reviews the principles of diagnostic evaluation of posterior cruciate ligament injuries.
