Posterior Cruciate Ligament Agenesis Requiring Surgical Reconstruction

Agenesis of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a rare disorder often found in conjunction with various other abnormalities within the knee. A 15-year-old adolescent boy presented with an absent PCL, leading to intermittent symptoms. At the age of 20 years, the patient underwent arthroscopically assisted PCL reconstruction. The patient was permitted to weightbear immediately after the procedure and started physical therapy 4 weeks after the procedure. No complications were encountered at the 2-year follow-up.
