Abstract

Tibial avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are rare injuries that can be fixed either via and open or arthroscopic approach to restore native knee biomechanics. The advantage of arthroscopic fixation is the ability to treat concomitant intra-articular pathologies that are otherwise difficult to identify and manage via an open approach, such as medial meniscal root tears and avulsions. This technical note describes an all-arthroscopic technique of treating a rare and previously undescribed injury pattern consisting of PCL tibial and lateral meniscus posterior root bony avulsions and ACL posterolateral bundle tibial peel-off, termed the “tibial avulsion triad”.
