Avulsion Fracture of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament from Femoral Insertion Occurred in a Patient with Residual Poliomyelitis: A Case Report: Wonchul Choi, Taesup Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2018;31(4):149-153. Published online October 31, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2018.31.4.149

Abstract PDF: Avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament from its femoral insertion is quite rare, particularly in adults, and the treatment guidelines have not been established. A 68-year-old female patient with residual poliomyelitis presented with an avulsion fracture of the femoral insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament after a falling accident and was treated with arthroscopic headless compression screw fixation and pull-out suture of the avulsed ligament. We report this case with a relevant discussion of this type of injury.

Abstract PDF: Fracture of tibial intercondylar eminence has a clinical importance in aspect of associated ligament injury, limited range of motion and joint instability The purpose of this study is to evaluate the intercondylar eminence fracture and to compare the results of treatment by method of arthroscopic reduction and pull-out suture with results of conservative treatment. The results were evaluated with Mayers and Mckeevers criteria of result and instability. 23 cases of avulsion fracture of tibial intercondylar eminence were reviewed. Most common type was type II Most common cause was traffic accident. Closed reduction and cast immobilization was performed in 12 cases, of which 10 cases had above good result initially, reduction with pull-out suture by arthroscopy was performed in 11 cases, of which 10 cases had above good refult. Type III B fracture were reduction with minimal arthrotomy because of the arthroscopic reduction was difficult. 2 cases of instability were in type III A and type III B. An instability case of type III A was treated non-operatively and the other of type III B was treated pull-out suture. 1 case of extension limitation was in type II which waf treated non-operatively because of multiple injury.
