Abstract
We report about the case of a 4(1/2)-year delayed screw fixation of a tibial posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fracture in combination with a posterolateral stabilization. After open reduction and rigid screw fixation, combined with a posterolateral stabilization using a semitendinosus tendon autograft, the patient returned to full activity in sports and daily life. If the PCL substance is sufficient, a delayed refixation in an old PCL avulsion injury seems to be a viable alternative to PCL reconstruction.Entities:
