A novel approach with modified suture bridge fixation technique for posterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture in adult
The results indicate that the novel approach utilizing a modified suture bridge fixation technique can provide effective stabilization and favorable clinical outcomes. The suture bridge structure can be applied to displaced posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fractures through its compression capabilities, especially in comminuted fractures. This procedure is straightforward, minimizing the risk of injury to peripheral neurovascular structures and eliminating the need for a second operation. Consequently, this technique represents a viable alternative treatment option for primary care facilities or hospitals that lack arthroscopic equipment.
