Suture Bridge Fixation Technique for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fracture
We presented a surgical technique including a suture bridge technique with relatively small incision for the reduction and fixation of posterior ligament avulsion fractures. A suture anchor was used to hold the avulsed fragment and a knotless anchor was used to continuously compress the bony fragment into the fracture site, thereby maintaining reduction during healing.
متن کاملPosterior cruciate ligament mediated avulsion fracture of the lateral tibial condyle: a case report
Avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are uncommon. On the basis of the site of damage of the PCL, hyperflexion, pretibial trauma, and hyperextension are proposed as mechanisms of PCL injuries. On the other hand, avulsion fractures of the tibial condyle are also rare. We report a PCL-mediated avulsion fracture of the lateral tibial condyle along with the tibial insertion o...
متن کاملOccult posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture in a paediatric patient: easily missed diagnosis.
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fracture is uncommon in the paediatric population. Clinical examination in children can be difficult as they are often irritable and uncooperative. Moreover, subtle radiological signs on basic X-rays are also liable to be missed. Further imagings including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are crucial to rule out this rare c...
متن کامل[Treatment of tibial avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament].
BACKGROUND The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fracture from its tibial insertion is a rare condition. Despite the further technical advent in refixation of avulsion fractures, the reported failure rate of current approaches remains high and the optimal surgical technique has not been elucidated yet. The purpose of the current study is to present an all-inside arthroscopic reconstruc...
متن کاملArthroscopic reattachment of an avulsion fracture of the tibial insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament.
We describe an arthroscopic technique for the treatment of isolated avulsion fracture of the tibial insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament. Arthroscopic examination of the injured joint permits visualization of the intra-articular structures and lavage of the joint. Such an approach reduces the risk of injury to the posterior neurovascular complex. K-wire fixation affords anatomic and rig...
