چکیده
Avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament in unusual locations are rare injuries. We report the first case in the literature of an avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament associated with distal injury to the patellar ligament. The aim of this study was to present a novel case, the therapy used and the clinical follow-up.

Avulsion fractures of tibial tuberosity in adolescents. Treatment with closed reduction and percutaneous screwing, using MRI to identify combined intraarticular lesions.
Avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity is an uncommon lesion generally seen in adolescents. Intra-articular lesions combined with a tibial tuberosity fracture reported in the literature are; 3 patellar tendon ruptures, 2 anterior cruciate ligament tears, 2 medial collateral ligament tears, 2 medial meniscus tears, one arcuate ligament tear, and one lateral meniscus tear. In our study, both ...
متن کاملReverse Segond Fracture Associated with Anteromedial Tibial Rim and Tibial Attachment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fractures
Reverse Segond fracture is an uncommon avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the deep portion of the medial collateral ligament of the knee. We report a reverse Segond fracture associated with anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture and anteromedial tibial rim fracture. Unlike previous reports, the combination of reverse Segond fracture, anteromedial tibial rim fracture, and...
متن کاملCase Report Transverse patellar fracture with avulsion fracture of the tibial posterior cruciate ligament attachment: a case report
We present a case of patellar fracture with avulsion fracture of the tibial posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) attachment; to our knowledge, this is the first report of its kind. Patellar fracture is often accompanied by anterior knee pain, which can make it difficult to perform the draw test and thereby mask the PCL injury. Moreover, cases of avulsion fracture of the tibial PCL attachment are r...

INTRODUCTION The Segond injury corresponds to a marginal avulsion fracture of lateral tibial plateau, resultant from flexion traumas, stress in varus and internal rotation. The structure responsible for avulsion is the lateral collateral ligament, and anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscal injuries are also frequently present(1-4). Hall and Hochman(5) provided the first report of an in...
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...
