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 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...
متن کاملAnterior arthroscopic-assisted fixation of posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures
BACKGROUND Avulsion fractures of the tibial insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) have always been regarded as rare injuries. The tibial attachment of the PCL is located in an area, which is difficult to access. HYPOTHESIS To verify the effects of anterior arthroscopic fixation of PCL avulsion fractures. METHODS 18 patients with PCL avulsion fracture were included. The inclusio...
متن کاملPosteromedial Versus Direct Posterior Approach for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reinsertion.
Avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are usually found in pediatric populations. This study investigated which of 2 approaches-posteromedial or direct posterior-enables easier PCL reinsertion. Ten fresh cadavers were studied using direct posterior (10 knees) and posteromedial (10 knees) approaches. In both, a guidewire was inserted into the tibial insertion of the PCL as ...
