Displaced Posterior Cruciate Avulsion Fracture Fixation With Medial Collateral Ligament and Lateral Meniscus Injury Using Combined Open and Arthroscopic Methods.

Tibial-sided posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures are challenging injuries that often occur concomitantly in the setting of multiligament knee and other soft-tissue injuries. There is no consensus on the optimal surgical approach or timing of treatment for these injuries. This Technical Note describes the fixation of a displaced posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture with concomitant grade 3 medial collateral ligament injuries and bucket-handle lateral meniscus tears using open and arthroscopic techniques. This method allows the surgeon to address multiple pathologies in a single stage, although it requires strategic planning and rehabilitation considerations.
