The PCL is the posterior cruciate ligament that crosses the ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament, on the knee, helping to hold the knee together. While not as common as an injury or tear to the ACL, a PCL injury can cause pain, swelling, and an unstable feeling in the knee. Usual causes include sports accidents that cause a blow to the shinbone or knee.
