About PCL Reconstruction
PCL reconstruction replaces a torn posterior cruciate ligament in the knee with a tendon graft. It is for people whose knee feels unstable or sags backwards, often after a high-energy injury with other ligaments damaged.
The surgeon uses arthroscopy to remove the torn ligament, prepares tunnels in the thigh bone and shin bone, and passes a graft through them. The graft may come from your own hamstring or quadriceps tendon, or from a donor, and is fixed with screws or buttons. Some surgeons use one bundle and others two, and other injured ligaments are usually repaired in the same operation.
Usually a good fit if
- Persistent knee instability or pain after a grade 3 PCL tear, particularly with other ligament injuries.
- Failure of a rehabilitation programme for an isolated tear.
- Active people whose sport or work requires knee stability.
- Full knee movement and swelling controlled before surgery.
May need to wait if
- Isolated grade 1 or 2 PCL injuries, which are usually managed with physiotherapy.
- Advanced arthritis, where reconstruction is unlikely to help.
- Stiff, swollen knees that need to regain movement first.
- Active infection or inability to comply with a long rehabilitation.
How to prepare
- Bring MRI, stress X-rays and your clinical notes; PCL injuries often involve other ligaments.
- Ask your doctor about anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning medicines to review before surgery.
- Ask which graft will be used and whether donor tissue is planned.
- Do pre-surgery physiotherapy to regain full movement and thigh strength where possible.
- Practise using crutches and arrange a brace and home physiotherapy before leaving.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is my PCL injury isolated, or do other ligaments need treating at the same time?
- Which graft will you use (own tendon or donor), and why?
- Will you use a single- or double-bundle technique, and do you perform these regularly?
- How long will I be in the brace, and when can I bear weight?
- What is the chance the knee remains slightly loose, and what does a good outcome look like?
- What physiotherapy and review can be arranged at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Reconstruction recommended for a mild isolated tear without a trial of physiotherapy.
- The surgeon rarely performs PCL surgery, which is less common than ACL reconstruction.
- No plan for bracing in the first weeks, which is important to protect the graft.
- No mention of treating associated ligament or alignment problems.
Questions about PCL Reconstruction in Turkey
How much does PCL Reconstruction cost in Turkey in 2026?
Prices start from $5,900, based on 8 hospital prices in Turkey in our database. Your final price depends on the hospital, room type and implant; we send written quotes that list what is included.
Is PCL Reconstruction cheaper in Turkey than in other countries?
Turkey ranks 3 of 9 destinations we compare for this procedure. The lowest typical price is in India at about $7,203.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey?
Most patients spend about 1 nights in hospital. Full recovery takes about 270 days; your surgeon will tell you when you are fit to fly home.
How long does a medical visa for Turkey take?
e-Visa or Medical Visa (USHAŞ-facilitated): processing takes about 3 days and the visa is valid for 90 days. We help with the hospital invitation letter.
Is PCL rehabilitation different from ACL?
Yes. PCL grafts are protected from backward pull on the shin, so hamstring exercises and early deep bending are limited. Following a PCL-specific protocol matters.
Will my knee be completely stable after surgery?
Many people improve a lot, but some looseness often remains compared with a normal knee. The goal is a stable, functional knee.
When can I drive?
Driving depends on which leg is operated on and your control, generally from around four to six weeks for the right leg. Your surgeon will confirm.
When can I return to sport?
Return to cutting and contact sport is generally nine to twelve months or more after surgery, depending on progress and surgeon clearance.
