    A Little Bit About PCL Reconstruction Surgery

    When you have a torn posterior cruciate ligament, the orthopedic surgeon might recommend PCL reconstruction. The surgical procedure involves correcting the tear in the knee with the help of a tissue graft that is taken from another part of your body or, in some cases, a donor. Our orthopedic team will answer your queries regarding posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction when you visit us at our Houston office!

    Our Procedure at Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

    We usually recommend PCL reconstruction if you have a dislocated knee and multiple ligament injuries. Once your PCL reconstruction is confirmed with us in Houston, we will explain the procedure and how you can prepare for it.

    Our orthopedic surgeon will inspect your knee and remove the remains of the injured PCL with an arthroscopic shaver. We aim to keep the Wrisberg safe, especially if it is intact. Then, we will harvest the donor tendon from another part of your body if you proceed with autograft.

    We will surgically remove the soft tissue surrounding the femur to help with inserting the graft.

    Our expert surgeon uses a combination of bony tunnels, sutures, and screws to secure the new PCL graft in its position. Once the incisions are closed with sutures, we will also cover them with some sterile dressings.

    Postoperative Care After Your PCL Reconstruction

    You will need to follow your surgeon’s instructions so that you have a fast and healthy recovery after your surgical treatment. The orthopedist might advise you to keep the knee in full extension using a knee brace for around 2-4 weeks. It is also important to avoid bearing weight on the knee and place supports, such as pillows, under the tibia for the first couple of months after surgery. This way, you can prevent the subluxation of the tibia.

    You may be able to initiate weight-bearing and rehabilitation after 8 weeks. It might help to use crutches until you regain your strength. We will strive to help you achieve a healthy and strong knee after your posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with our team in Houston!

    Dr. Barrett Brown is a very fine physician. He is also a friend. While he is a surgeon he said this about my horribly painful shoulder. First we will try an injection performed by our specialist using ultra sound. (It was painless.) If that does not relieve your pain we will do a cat scan to evaluate the rotator cuff.

    Highly recommend Dr Brown!!! He took time to answer all questions without rushing. I called his office in severe pain and received the in- office MRI and Dr appt the next day then Dr Brown explained my condition and I was booked for surgery with their on-site hospital days later. The surgery went great and I was treated great by all staff. They have valet service as well. Thanks Dr Brown and all staff!!!

    I had a rotator cuff repair with Dr. Brown. Everyone at this hospital from the registration staff, pre-op nurse, surgery staff, recovery room nurse, the anesthesiologist, and of course, the surgeon, Dr. Brown were all professional and caring.

    I have, unfortunately, been a frequent visitor to the Fondren Orthopedic clinic as I cannot seem to stay on my feet 😅. My most recent experience with Dr. Brown has been nothing short of excellent. From the initial exam to surgery and then the follow up and discussion of how I am healing have been extremely thorough and communication has been a 10. I would definitely recommend.
