What is Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Injury? The posterior cruciate ligament, or PCL, is one of four ligaments important to the stability of the knee joint. The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, sits just in front of the PCL. The ACL is much better known, in part because injuries to the ACL are much more commonly diagnosed than injuries to the PCL.
Where is your LCL? The LCL ligament is found along the outside of the knee and connects the femur to the smaller bone of the leg bone (fibula). The LCL along with the MCL are both collateral ligaments meaning they are found along the sides of the knee. The LCL controls the side to side movement within the knee. Since the LCL does not connect to the meniscus or knee joint capsule, it is more flexible, and less vulnerable to knee injuries. An LCL injury is however very common in contact sports such as football and soccer.
