What is the PCL?


Location of the PCL

The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is located in the back of the knee. It forms an “X” with the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) inside the knee joint. The PCL works with the ACL to control the back-and-forth movements of the knee. It also prevents the shinbone from moving too far back in the knee joint.


The PCL is one of several ligaments in the knee that connects the shinbone to the thighbone.


The PCL is the strongest ligament in the knee and is harder to injure than the other knee ligaments. It is often injured along with other structures in the knee, such as the meniscus, other ligaments, and even bone. The majority of PCL Injuries are mild and can be healed without the aid of surgery.

To treat a Baker's Cyst, should I get the Knee ColdCure or the Leg ColdCure?


A customer asked, "To treat a Baker's Cyst, should I get the Knee ColdCure or the Leg ColdCure?"


Re: To treat a Baker's Cyst, should I get the Knee ColdCure or the Leg ColdCure?


To treat a Baker's Cyst, we recommend the Leg ColdCure wrap. The reason is because the Leg ColdCure wrap has an effective treatment area of 10" x 7", which is capable of wrapping around the back of the knee, and applying cold compression to the back of the knee, which is typically where a Baker's cyst is found.

The Knee ColdCure wrap can still be used to treat a Baker's cyst, it would just need to be rotated around so that the cold therapy applies to the back of the knee - the fit will not be ideal on the back of the knee, as the Knee ColdCure is designed specifically to treat the front of the knee.

The Leg ColdCure is most ideal for a Baker's cyst because it provides a better fit. The Leg ColdCure is a more versatile wrap and can be used to treat any area of the leg or hip.
