About this deal
One study looked at 46 patients with MRI confirmed grade II and III PCL injuries managed conservatively from the time of injury until they returned to sports and reviewed them again at 5 years after the injury. The study reported an average of 16 weeks from the time of the injury until the return to competitive sports. 91% of those who returned to sports were able to play at the same level or higher at 2 years, and 69% played at the same level at the five-year follow-up. This indicates good outcomes of non-operative management in terms of returning to high levels of play and function. [13]
