Abstract

Posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture is occurred by high energy trauma, usually in motor vehicle accident or sports injury. Bilateral posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture is not yet reported in Korea. Authors report a case of bilateral posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture in 16-years-old man treated with anatomical reduction and internal fixation with a review of literature.
Key words: Posterior cruciate ligament, Avulsion fracture, Bilateral

T2 weighted sagital MRI image of both (A, B) knee show bilateral avulsion fracture of posterior cruciate ligament.
