What is the PCL protocol?

Protocol Composition Logic (PCL) is a logic for proving security properties of network protocols that use public and symmetric key cryptography.

Does a grade 3 PCL tear require surgery?

Grade 3 PCL injuries: At this Grade surgical reconstruction is recommended. If the PCL has been pulled and detached from its anchor point, it can be reattached with a screw. If the PCL has been torn completely it can be reconstructed using a piece of your own tissue (autograft) or a piece of donor tissue (allograft).

Do PCL tears need surgery?

Complete PCL tears often require surgical treatment to regain knee stability. When the PCL pulls off a small piece of bone from the back of the lower leg (tibial avulsion), the PCL may be surgically repaired.

What do you do if you tear your PCL?

Nonsurgical Treatment of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

1. Using crutches at first, then gradually walking with more weight on the knee.
2. Having a machine or therapist move your leg through its range of motion.
3. Temporarily wearing a knee brace for support.
4. Strengthening your thigh muscles to help make the knee more stable.

What are PCL drivers?

Printer Control Language, or PCL, is a common printing language used widely by many different printer manufacturers. This means that the drivers for this language utilize the printer hardware for creating some of the printed data, usually graphics data such as fill areas, underlines or fonts.

Can a ruptured PCL heal?

The initial treatment is rest, ice, elevation, compression bandage and a splint. However, PLC injury heals poorly by itself and often requires surgery. Ideally this is done within 3 weeks of the injury; during this stage the torn ends will heal if they are stitched together.

Does a Grade 2 PCL tear require surgery?

Grade I or II injuries, may not require surgery if they are the only injured structures in the knee. Also, chronic PCL injuries that are recently diagnosed may not require surgery if there are no presenting symptoms or other complications.

What is a ruptured PCL?

A posterior cruciate ligament rupture is when the ligament completely tears. This happens when the ligament can no longer withstand the forces being applied to it causing it to snap. This results in significant pain in and around the knee cap (patella) and major instability.

How long is recovery for PCL?

Expected recovery usually occurs in about three months at which time swelling may be resolved and strength recovered. A full return to active sports is usually possible. If PCL reconstruction is needed, full recovery may take 9-12 months.

Are PCL tears painful?

If greater than 900 of knee flexion is performed, this MUST be done with an anterior drawer force to prevent posterior subluxatlon. Posterior knee pain may mean the patient is progressing too qulckly Guidelines:

What’s the purpose of the PCL reconstruction protocol?

PCL Reconstruction Protocol. The intent of this protocol is to provide the clinician with a guideline for the post- operative rehabilitation course of a patient that has undergone a PCL or PCL/ACL reconstruction.

Which is the most common cause of PCL tears?

The PCL is tight when the knee is bent, so most PCL injuries occur at that time. The most common cause of PCL tears (Figure 3) are sports injuries (37%) and trauma (56%).

When do you need surgery for a PCL injury?

Surgical reconstruction is needed for patients with PCL injuries that are combined with other ligament injuries in the knee (combination injuries or multi-ligamentous injuries), isolated grade 3 injuries or PCL injuries with chronic instability.
