Arthroscopic PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) Reconstruction is a modern surgical technique performed by Dr. Manu Gautam to restore knee stability and function after a ligament injury. The PCL, one of the four major knee ligaments, plays a vital role in controlling movement and preventing instability. When injured, patients often struggle with pain, weakness, and difficulty performing everyday tasks.

During the procedure, Dr. Gautam makes a few small incisions around the knee and inserts an arthroscope—a tiny camera that provides a clear view of the joint. Through these incisions, he uses specialized instruments to access the damaged ligament with minimal trauma. Compared with open surgery, this approach reduces pain, lowers the risk of complications, and allows faster recovery.
To reconstruct the ligament, Dr. Gautam may use a graft taken from the patient’s own tissue or from a carefully selected donor. By securing the graft in place, he restores the PCL’s stabilizing function and helps the knee move smoothly again. Because every patient has unique needs, the surgical plan is customized to achieve the best possible outcome.
Recovery does not end with surgery. After the procedure, patients follow a structured rehabilitation program designed to build strength, improve flexibility, and support long-term healing. Physical therapy sessions, combined with regular follow-ups, ensure steady progress. As a result, most patients can return to their daily activities and even sports within a few months, depending on the severity of the injury.
What sets Dr. Manu Gautam apart is his focus on advanced surgical methods and compassionate patient care. He explains treatment options clearly, provides individualized guidance, and supports patients throughout recovery. By combining skill and dedication, Dr. Gautam enables individuals to regain pain-free mobility, restore confidence in movement, and return to an active lifestyle.
