Plain radiographs are usually diagnostic and involve anteroposterior, lateral, and oblique views. Acute patients were considered those whose treatment was performed within three weeks of fracture occurrence, those whose treatment was performed between three and six weeks were classified as subacute and those treated between six and 12 weeks were considered chronic. (A) Anteroposterior and (B) lateral radiographs obtained 6 weeks after surgery show that the tibial insertion of the PCL is anatomically united. Data from literature are varied: in most articles, there is a predominance of males, ranging from 66.6 to 90 %,66 Griffith JF, Antonio GE, Tong CW, Ming CK. Arthroscopic reduction and fixation of bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament of the tibia.

The MRI in addition to the basic X-ray enables the fixation method to be chosen and also aids in excluding the extension in the tibial plateau which can be missed on plain X-rays. February 20, [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. The screws should be placed at a right angle to the avulsed fragment, proximally and posteriorly, not inclined distally, to avoid a tendency to pull out.

Conclusion Arthroscopic vertical fixation by high-strength line is a simple, safe, reliable, and micro-invasive treatment to PCL tibial avulsion fracture. It has been proposed that overreduction may result in excessive tension of the ACL, which results in limited knee range of motion. Shore BJ, Edmonds EW.

The physiotherapy focused on regaining quadriceps strength and complete knee extension. July 31, 1987;69(2):233-42. The injury could be missed if a lateral view is not obtained. Further research is required to determine whether this method is suitable for elderly patients with significant osteoporosis. After completion of the initial diagnostic arthroscopy, a 1.5-cm-long incision is performed about 10 to 30 mm distal to the tibial tuberosity on the anteromedial lower leg. Knee Surg Relat Res. Multiple biomechanical studies have shown that PCL deficiency if untreated may lead to increased risk of meniscal tears, medial compartment, and patellofemoral osteoarthritis.44 Li G, Papannagari R, Li M, Bingham J, Nha KW, Allred D, et al.

(B) The fragment is reduced using a tibial PCL guide by arthroscopic visualization. Sequential avulsions of the tibial tubercle in an adolescent basketball player. According to Pache et al. Methods: Both the avulsed bone block and the tibia bone bed were refreshed. On the coronal MRI, a bony avulsion of the medial collateral liga- ment on the medial epicondyle was seen (Fig 3).

To investigate whether the medial tibial depth (MTD), medial and lateral posterior tibial slope, asymmetry of the medial and lateral slopes, radius of the sagittal plane medial femoral condyle, coronal tibial slope, and notch width index (NWI) were risk factors for PCL intrasubstance tearing (PCLIT) and tibial avulsion fractures (PCLAF).

Early surgical treatment has been regarded as necessary, but the optimal surgical technique remains unclear. Depending on the size and location of the avulsion injury, it may be necessary to establish an additional posterolateral portal. 2011;19(8):1320-5.

The reduction and fixation using high-strength line were used to fix the avulsed bone . Ethical committee approval was taken prior to the study protocol introduction. In patients with small fragments, a pullout operation is usually performed . On the other hand we noticed that flexion deficits are more common among the outcomes of authors who used arthroscopic treatment of PCL avulsion although these deficits have not been described by authors who used open surgery treatment or small deficits were considered normal.2626 Nicandri GT, Klineberg EO, Wahl CJ, Mills WJ.

Simultaneous bilateral tibial tubercle avulsion fracture in an adolescent: a case report. Arthroscopy. In type III injuries, the fracture extends through the articular surface of the knee with occasional meniscal disruption. The diagnosis of a PCL injury is established by the patient's history, clinical examination, and radiographic evaluation. The needles and instruments were always directed from posterior to anterior angulation to avoid any neurovascular injury. The most dangerous risk is injury to the popliteal vessels.1111 Ahn JH, Ha CW. Arthroscopic suture fixation for avulsion fractures in the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament. Regarding posterior instability, asymptomatic grade I posterior sag persisted in five knees (41.6%) of our population, possibly due to intrasubstance elongation1818 Piedade SR, Mischan MM. The TightRope device (Arthrex, Naples, FL) has recently gained popularity and has been well accepted for the purpose of acromioclavicular joint repair andreconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, achieving solid fixation with good clinical results. Initial examination is often difficult secondary to pain and may limit evaluation of the ligaments. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of PCL tibial avulsion fracture fixation using dual PM portal technique, to avoid neurovascular anatomical structures injuries that may happen with PL portal, and done with screws, in order to provide a more rigid fixation. Arthroscopic fixation of an avulsion fracture of the tibia involving the posterior cruciate ligament: a modified technique in a series of 22 cases. Even in the case of a comminuted fracture pattern, the TightRope device can be used because of the broad tibial insertion site of the PCL and its resulting ligamentotaxis, which helps to mold the bony fragments and facilitate reduction.

There were nine (75%) men and three (25%) women. Abstract: The avulsion fracture of the femoral attachment from the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is quite rare, particularly in adults. We prefer to obtain an MRI in all pattients in whom tibial avulsion is suspected to confirm the diagnosis and determine the amount of displacement and presence of associated pathology. The posteromedial knee arthroscopy portal: a cadaveric study defining a safety zone for portal placement. The preoperative IKDC score mean of 10.13 increased to 89.3 at the end of six months. Because the PCL attachment is deep within the popliteal fossa, arthroscopic fixation is both challenging and demanding. The tibia is the primary weight-bearing bone of the knee joint. Closed reduction and internal fixation was found to be sufficient in intra-articular fractures (types IIIA and IIIB), except for one case. (2) Methods: After retrospective evaluation, we .

Minor adverse results with this technique were: grade I on posterior sag in five knees (41.6%), temporary stiffness in two cases (16.7 %), delayed union in one patient (8.3 %), and difficulty squatting at the end of six months in one patient (8.3%).

Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med. The most important finding of our study was that transseptal and PL portals may be unnecessary for PCL tibial avulsion fixation if one more proximal PM portal is added for arthroscopic passage of the cancellous screw since it provides an optimal screw trajectory and this techniques outcomes were similar to those obtained with an open one. 2016;39(5):e1024-7.
