Avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are a rare, but serious, knee pathology. Early surgical treatment is regarded as necessary to maintain knee stability. Recommended management involves open reduction with internal fixation through a posterior approach. However, open surgeries are associated with a greater risk of complications. Current data suggest excellent outcomes for arthroscopic-assisted fixation, with a low complication rate. The purpose of this technical note is to present an all-arthroscopic PCL distal reattachment with extracortical fixation technique. This technique provides precise fracture reduction, is easily reproducible, and is relatively safe to treat PCL tibial avulsion fractures.
后交叉韧带(PCL)撕脱骨折是一种罕见但严重的膝关节病变。早期手术治疗被认为是维持膝关节稳定性所必需的。推荐的治疗方法包括通过后路切开复位内固定。然而,开放手术的并发症风险更高。目前的数据表明,关节镜辅助固定的效果极佳,并发症发生率低。本技术说明的目的是介绍一种全关节镜下PCL远端重新附着并采用皮质外固定技术。该技术能实现精确的骨折复位,易于重复操作,治疗PCL胫骨撕脱骨折相对安全。
