Clinical outcomes of arthroscopic suture fixation combined with loop plate vs. posterior approach open reduction and cannulated screw fixation for treating tibial avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Comparison of the efficacy of arthroscopic suture fixation combined with loop plate vs. the posterior approach involving open reduction and intramedullary nail fixation in treating posterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fractures (PCLTAFs).

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients diagnosed with PCLTAF who were admitted to Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital between June 2019 and March 2022. Based on distinct surgical procedures, the patients were categorized into two groups: arthroscopic group (33 cases), involving a single bone tunnel, high-strength suture, loop plate, and anchor screw fixed under arthroscopy, and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) group (13 cases), involving a modified posterior medial
