Direct posterior approach to posterior cruciate ligament bony avulsion fractures: a case series introducing a new surgical technique.
Annals of Medicine and Surgery 2023 March
UNLABELLED: Posterior cruciate ligament bony avulsion is one of the well-known knee injuries, which includes about 3-20% of knee ligament injuries. Failure to properly treat this injury causes instability in the knee. Although various surgical approaches have been introduced for this injury, there is controversy regarding selecting the suitable method under certain conditions.
METHOD: In this study, as well as introducing our new surgical technique, we reported the treatment results of our patients who underwent surgery between April 2021 and June 2022. In this approach, in a short time with about 5 cm incisions, we can directly access the fracture site and directly fix the fracture with minimal tissue damage.
RESULT: Results of this study showed that the operating time was about 24.2 min on average. And in the 6-month follow-up results of our patients, no complications were reported, while the results stipulate a complete recovery of knee pain, range of motion, and stability in examinations.
CONCLUSION: Apparently, the direct posterior approach to posterior cruciate ligament bony avulsion fractures is a safe method with minimal complications and suitable treatment results for patients.
