Abstract

Isolated posterior cruciate ligament injuries are rare and their management is controversial. But, there is general concept that a bony avulsion of posterior cruciate ligament should be repaired. The treatments for the bony avulsion of posterior cruciate ligament were conservative treatment, open reduction and internal fixation and arthroscopic fixation. We report 2 cases of posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures, which were arthroscopically reduced and stabilized with cannulated screws and Kirschner wires, and introduce the arthroscopic fixation technique.
