Objective:
To highlight the incidence of grade III PCL injuries with simultaneous PCL & popliteus injury.
Methods:
Inclusion criteria: patients who underwent PCL reconstruction for grade III PCL tear & minimum of 1-year follow-up. Exclusion criteria: associated ACL injury & insufficient follow up. Patients seen postoperatively at 2 weeks, 6-8 weeks, 4-6 months, 6-9 months, 1 year, and 1 + years.
Results:
89.5% of patients in this study had an associated popliteus injury.
Conclusions:
Isolated grade III PCL injury may not frequently exist, rather undiagnosed & untreated concurrent popliteus injury can have less successful outcomes after isolated PCL reconstruction.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
