Adjustable-Loop Cortical Button Fixation Results in Good Clinical Outcomes for Acute Tibial Avulsion Fracture of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the clinical outcomes for arthroscopic treatment of acute posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures with adjustable-loop cortical button fixation device.

Methods

Patients with PCL tibial avulsion fractures treated with an adjustable-loop cortical button fixation device between October 2019 and October 2020 were retrospectively identified. Patients with type 1 were treated using plaster fixation as a conservative treatment, whereas patients with type 2 and 3 with displacement were treated using an arthroscopic adjustable-loop cortical button. Operating time, incision recovery, complications, and postoperative fracture healing time were monitored. All patient follow-up was done at 12 months' postoperatively.
