See this image and copyright information in PMC. Classification of ACL avulsion fractures. Injuries may be isolated or combined and often go undiagnosed in the acutely injured knee, PCL is the primary restraint to posterior tibial translation, functions to prevent hyperflexion/sliding, isolated injuries cause the greatest instability at 90° of flexion, combined PCL and posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries, PCL deficiency leads to increased contact pressures in the, posterior tibial sulcus below the articular surface, strongest and most important for posterior stability at 90° of flexion, reciprocal function to the anterolateral bundle, lies between the meniscofemoral ligaments, ligament of Humphrey (anterior) and ligament of Wrisberg (posterior), originate from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus and insert into PCL substance, minimizes posterior tibial displacement (95%), Classification based on posterior subluxation of tibia relative to femoral condyles (with knee in 90° of flexion), tibia remains anterior to the femoral condyles, complete injury in which the anterior tibia is flush with the femoral condyles, Grade III (combined PCL and capsuloligamentous), tibia is posterior to the femoral condyles and often indicates an associated ACL and/or PLC injury, differentiate between high- and low-energy trauma, hyperflexion athletic injury with a plantar-flexed foot, ascertain a history of dislocation or neurologic injury, often subtle or asymptomatic in isolated PCL injuries, laxity at 30° alone indicates MCL/LCL injury, patient lies supine with hips and knees flexed to 90°, examiner supports ankles and observes for a posterior shift of the tibia as compared to the uninvolved knee, the medial tibial plateau of a normal knee at rest is 10 mm anterior to the medial femoral condyle, an absent or posteriorly-directed tibial step-off indicates a positive sign, with the knee at 90° of flexion, a posteriorly-directed force is applied to the proximal tibia and posterior tibial translation is quantified, isolated PCL injuries translate >10-12 mm in neutral rotation and 6-8 mm in internal rotation, combined ligamentous injuries translate >15 mm in neutral rotation and >10 mm in internal rotation, attempt to extend a knee flexed at 90° to elicit quadriceps contraction, positive if anterior reduction of the tibia occurs relative to the femur, > 10° ER asymmetry at 30° only consistent with isolated PLC injury, KT-1000 and KT-2000 knee ligament arthrometers, used for standardized laxity measurement although less accurate than for ACL, may see avulsion fractures with acute injuries, medial and patellofemoral compartment arthrosis may be present with chronic injuries, apply stress to anterior tibia with the knee flexed to 70°, asymmetric posterior tibial displacement indicates PCL injury, contralateral knee differences >12 mm on stress views suggest a combined PCL and PLC injury, confirmatory study for the diagnosis of PCL injury, with a focus on knee extensor strengthening, relative immobilization in extension for 4 weeks, surgery may be indicated with bony avulsions or a young athlete, extension bracing with limited daily ROM exercises, immobilization is followed by quadriceps strengthening, PCL repair of bony avulsion fractures or reconstruction, primary repair of bony avulsion fractures with ORIF, allograft is typically utilized with multiple graft choices available, options include - Achilles, bone-patellar tendon-bone, hamstring, and anterior tibialis, good results achieved with primary repair of bony avulsions, primary repair of midsubstance ruptures are typically not successful, results of PCL reconstruction are less successful than with ACL reconstruction and residual posterior laxity often exists, successful reconstruction depends on addressing concomitant ligament injuries, no outcome studies clearly support one reconstruction technique over the other, consider medial opening wedge osteotomy to treat both varus malalignment and PCL deficiency, when performing a high tibial osteotomy in a PCL deficient knee, increasing the tibial slope helps reduce the posterior sag of the tibia, shifts the tibia anterior relative to the femur preventing posterior tibial translation, posteromedial portal is placed 1 cm proximal to the joint line posterior to the MCL, avoid injury to branches of the saphenous nerve during placement, posteromedial corner of the knee is best visualized with a 70° arthroscope either through the notch (modified Gillquist view) or using a posteromedial portal, transtibial drilling anterior to posterior, fix graft in 90° flexion with an anterior drawer, biomechanical advantage with a decrease in the "killer turn" with less graft attenuation and failure, screw fixation of the graft bone block is within 20 mm of the popliteal artery, arthroscopic or open techniques may be utilized, biomechanical advantage with knee function in flexion and extension, clinical advantage has yet to be determined, may be advantageous to perform with combined PCL/PLC injuries for better rotational control as PLC reconstructions typically loosen over time, at risk when drilling the tibial tunnel (increases with knee extension), lies just posterior to PCL insertion on the tibia, separated only by posterior capsule, Patellofemoral and medial sided pain/arthritis, Spontaneous Osteonecrosis of the Knee (SONK), Osgood Schlatter's Disease (Tibial Tubercle Apophysitis), Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS) Avulsion, Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine Avulsion (AIIS), Concussions (Mild Traumatic Brain Injury), results in knee biomechanics similar to native knee, avoid resisted hamstring strengthening exercises (ex. The entire PCL insertion area was avulsed in all of the 19 patients with PCL avulsion fractures. PCL avulsion fractures, although rare, should undergo fixation when displacement is present. A displaced avulsion fracture at the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is considered an indication for surgical reduction and internal fixation 1,2 because nonunion and remaining posterior instability of the knee are common consequences of conservative treatment. A variety of avulsion fractures of the knee can occur, including Segond and reverse Segond fractures; avul-sions of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments; arcuate complex avulsion; iliotibial band avulsion; avulsions of the biceps femoris, semi-membranosus, and quadriceps tendons; Sinding-Larsen-Johansson Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures are a type of avulsion fracture of the knee that represent the most common isolated PCL lesion.
