title: Arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation of an avulsion fracture of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus.
abstract: We report a very rare case of an avulsion fracture of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus associated with ACL tear, which was successfully treated by arthroscopic reduction and pullout fixation of the fragment along with ACL reconstruction.
