MRI Knee Scan report. Spanish hospital. The sentence is as follows:

"Existen múltiples aunque pequeños cuerpos osteocondrales libres posicionados por detras del LCP"

I cannot find information about what LCP is to translate it into British English. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Anatomical terms and abbreviations will be the same in US and UK English.

Note that you changed the order of the initials in your title. You'll find many, many more entries under LCP (ligamento cruzado posterior) than LPC.
