We describe a patient who underwent arthroscopic pullout fixation for a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fracture. A 46-year-old female, injured in a fall while riding a motorcycle, was diagnosed with a right knee PCL tibial attachment avulsion fracture and underwent arthroscopic osteosynthesis. A Kirschner wire was drilled to a point just medial to the medial border of the anterior t...

Abstract The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is one of the four major stabilizers knee joint and functions as primary restraint to tibial translation. PCL tears rarely occur in isolation most commonly presents setting multiligamentous injuries. Several treatment strategies for these injuries have been proposed over last decades, including reconstruction repair. Arthroscopic repair has potenti...

Tibial eminence avulsion fractures are rare injuries occurring mainly in adolescents and young adults. When necessary, regardless of patient age, anatomic reduction and stable internal fixation are mandatory for fracture healing and accurate restoration of normal knee biomechanics. Various arthroscopically assisted fixation methods with sutures, anchors, wires, or screws have been described but...

This is a report of a 17-year-old wrestler who had suffered from a sport injury during an international competition that led to recurrent shoulder dislocation. Physical examination showed that he had a severe ligamentous laxity. In the magnetic resonance images there were combined humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) and Bankart lesions. Combination of Bankart and HAGL lesions, ...

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...
