The posterior cruciate ligament is present in the knee behind the anterior cruciate ligament. It runs behind the knee connecting the thigh bone with the lower leg bone. The function of these ligaments is to maintain the bones, connect them, and help move the knee effortlessly. Any injury to this ligament can make the knee swell, painful, stiff, unstable, and cause difficulty walking. Any partial ligament tear can heal without any intervention. However, it takes almost four months to a year to completely recover from the injury.
