Posterior tibial spine avulsion fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation through Burks and Schaffer approach – An outcome analysis
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The Posterior Cruciate ligament (PCL) is the stronger of the two cruciate ligaments of the knee. It is the primary constraint to the posterior tibial translation at 90º of knee flexion. PCL avulsion injuries are not uncommon in our country. We corrected such injuries with open reduction and internal fixation using Burks and Schaffe approach in 10 patients, followed up the patients adequately and reported their functional outcome in this study
