This protocol addresses acute posterior cruciate ligament injury occurring alongside a peripheral nerve continuity lesion at the knee — a presentation that requires attention to both structural ligament damage and concurrent nerve injury in the same region.
Neurovascular complications are a recognised feature of multiligament knee injuries. Peripheral nerve involvement alongside PCL disruption represents a more complex injury pattern than isolated PCL tears, requiring management that accounts for both components simultaneously.
The structured regimen for this scenario addresses the peripheral nerve continuity lesion through nerve-level surgical intervention — details of the technique and sequencing are in the full protocol.
Most of the initial injury complications are a neurovascular injury from a multiligament injury, not an isolated PCL injury.
