- Classic signs:
- Posterior sag sign
- Posterior knee pain
- Difficulty descending stairs
- Instability (less dramatic than ACL)
- Dashboard injury mechanism
- Rule-in test:
- Posterior Drawer Test (NPTE’s favorite)
- Rule-out clues:
- Immediate swelling → ACL
- Locking/catching → Meniscus
- Medial tenderness → MCL
- NPTE trap:
- “Dashboard injury” = PCL. Never ignore it.
- Best treatment:
- ROM, quad strength, avoid early hamstring loading.
- Mock question included: Yes.
