This study describes all-arthroscopic fixation of the posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture using 'suture bridge technique'. We used this technique in 3 consecutive patients. All were satisfied and returned to the activities prior to injury. This technique can be considered as a safe and effective method for fixation of PCL avulsion, which allows active mobilization with lowered risk of...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the results of Posteromedial (PM) open reduction internal fixation versus arthroscopic reduction and adjustable loop fixation of displaced Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fractures, regarding healing, degree of posterior stability, Range of Motion (ROM), level of activity, complications and diagnosis of associated injuries. Hyp...

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...

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...

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are extremely rare and most commonly occur in the trauma setting. They can lead to instability, pain, diminished function, and eventual arthrosis. Several techniques of arthroscopic PCL repair for tibial-sided bony avulsions have been described in the literature; however, no single technique has emerged as the gold standard to predictably restore poste...

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...
