We investigated the outcome of the conservative treatment from the point of athletic performance for rugby football players with an acute isolated PCL injury. The subjects were sixteen competitive rugby football players, with an average age of 21 years. After exercise consisting of quadriceps muscle strengthening and range of knee motion, the players were allowed to return to sports activity when swelling and pain disappeared. At one year after the injury, the period of return to pre-injury level and the self-evaluation for eleven performances during rugby football were surveyed by a questionnaire. Each performance of the athletic skills was rated as normal, nearly normal, abnormal or severely abnormal. Fourteen players (88%) returned to their pre-injury level. The time to return to pre-injury level ranged from one to seven months, with a mean of three months. High-speed running was the most affected skill (9 out of 14, 64%). These results showed that performance of athletic skills was apparently affected in rugby football players with an acute isolated PCL injury though the conservative treatment was effective
我们从运动表现的角度研究了急性单纯后交叉韧带（PCL）损伤的橄榄球运动员保守治疗的结果。研究对象为16名有竞争力的橄榄球运动员，平均年龄21岁。在进行了包括股四头肌强化和膝关节活动度训练的运动后，当肿胀和疼痛消失时，运动员被允许恢复体育活动。在受伤一年后，通过问卷调查了恢复到受伤前水平的时间以及对橄榄球运动中11项表现的自我评估。运动技能的每项表现被评为正常、接近正常、异常或严重异常。14名运动员（88%）恢复到了受伤前的水平。恢复到受伤前水平的时间为1至7个月，平均为3个月。高速奔跑是受影响最大的技能（14人中9人，64%）。这些结果表明，尽管保守治疗有效，但急性单纯PCL损伤的橄榄球运动员的运动技能表现明显受到影响。
