Posterior cruciate avulsion fracture associated with a large inverted medial tibial osteochondral fragment.
A case of traumatic avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament in association with a large osteochondral fracture of the medial tibial condyle is described. The osteochondral fragment was inverted 180 degrees. Many associated injuries of the posterior cruciate ligament have been described. This unusual combination of fractures to the best of our knowledge has not been reported before. The mechanism of injury and its clinical implications are discussed.
