Table 3.
Grading of PCL injuries based on the degree of posterior tibial translation as found on posterior drawer exam and kneeling stress radiograph measurement of side to side difference
| Grade | Clinical finding with posterior drawer exam | Kneeling stress radiograph measurement SSD |
| I | 0-5 mm PTT | 0-7 mm PTT |
| II | 5-10 mm PTT | ◊ |
| III | >10 mm PTT; MTP posterior to MFC; posterior sag | ◊ |
PCL – posterior cruciate ligament; SSD – side-to-side difference; PTT – posterior tibial translation; MTP – medial tibial plateau; MFC – medial femoral condyle
