Avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament in an uncommon location associated with distal injury to the patellar ligament

Abstract

ABSTRACT Avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament in unusual locations are rare injuries. We report the first case in the literature of an avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament associated with distal injury to the patellar ligament. The aim of this study was to present a novel case, the therapy used and the clinical follow-up.
