Abstract
IntroductionPosterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears are commonly due to motor vehicle accidents or sports-related trauma but can differ geographically. We report the various causes, types, and associated injuries of PCL tears in Taiwan. MethodsOne hundred forty patients with arthroscopically treated PCL tears were reviewed. ResultsScooter-related trauma was the most common cause of PCL tear in our series and is typically an isolated ligamentous injury. High-velocity motor vehicle accidents accounted for a small percentage of PCL tears. ConclusionScooter-related PCL tears are common in Taiwanese patients and are often isolated ligamentous injuries similar to low-velocity sports-related PCL injuries.
