Abstract
We report a case of posterior femorotibial dislocation with an isolated les ion of the posterior cruciate ligament. Outcome was favorable after reducti on and conservative treatment for six weeks and was satisfactory at six mon ths follow-up. Acceptable functional results can be obtained after non-oper ative treatment of this very severe knee injury.
