Arthroscopically Assisted Treatment of Avulsion Fractures of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament from the Tibia
by Sung-Jae Kim, Sang-Jin Shin, Nam-Hong Choi, and Shin-Kang Cho
A tibial posterior cruciate ligament guide (A) placed through the anteromedial portal is used to secure the fracture fragment (C) and to guide insertion of a threaded Kirschner wire (arrow).

A long 18‐gauge spinal needle is inserted through the posterolateral sheath and passed through the posterior cruciate ligament just proximal to the fracture fragment, and a 23‐gauge wire is
passed through the lumen of the needle.

Each end of the previously passed 23‐gauge wire or multiple sutures is pulled distally with even tension until the fracture fragment is accurately reduced.
