Avulsion Fracture of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament from Femoral Insertion Occurred in a Patient with Residual Poliomyelitis: A Case Report: Wonchul Choi, Taesup Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2018;31(4):149-153. Published online October 31, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2018.31.4.149

Abstract PDF: Avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament from its femoral insertion is quite rare, particularly in adults, and the treatment guidelines have not been established. A 68-year-old female patient with residual poliomyelitis presented with an avulsion fracture of the femoral insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament after a falling accident and was treated with arthroscopic headless compression screw fixation and pull-out suture of the avulsed ligament. We report this case with a relevant discussion of this type of injury.

Avulsion of the Femoral Attachment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Associated with Ipsilateral Femoral Shaft Fracture in Skeletally Mature Patient: A Case Report: Seong Eun Byun, Taesup Kim, Bang Hyun Kim, Jae Hwa Kim, Soo Hong Han, Wonchul Choi; J Korean Fract Soc 2016;29(3):200-205. Published online July 31, 2016; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2016.29.3.200

Abstract PDF: Avulsion fracture at the femoral attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is very rare and has been reported mostly in skeletally immature patients. Authors experienced a case of avulsion fracture at the femoral attachment of ACL in a skeletally mature, a 21-year-old male associated with ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture. Here, authors report on the case with a literature review. Care should be taken because an avulsion fracture at the femoral attachment of ACL can be accompanied by ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture in skeletally mature patients.
