Outcomes of tibial avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament treated with a homemade hook plate

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical effects of an inverted L-shaped postero-medial approach with a homemade hook plate and arthroscopic fixation Endobutton for tibial avulsion fractures posterior cruciate ligament.MethodsThe data 36 patients PCL from January 2012 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The classified into Meyers-McKeever types II III. Among them, 20 cases treated through (incision group), 16 under arthroscopy (arthroscopic group). operative time, fracture union complications range motion knee joint compared between two groups. stability was tested by drawer test, functional recovery evaluated Lysholm score, gastrocnemius muscle strength incision group performing heel raises single leg stance.ResultsThere no adverse events, such as nonunion, infection, deep-vein thrombosis, abnormal hematoma or stiffness, in either group. time shorter group, difference statistically significant (P < 0.05). There groups > At last follow-up, there score decrease group.ConclusionsThe is safe effective. It showed almost same satisfactory outcomes fixation.
