Core Tip

Core Tip: Avulsion fractures of the tibial intercondylar eminence containing the attachment site of both the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are extremely rare, and the reported clinical outcomes are poor. We report a case of combined knee injury of ACL and PCL avulsion fracture together with a tear of the medial collateral ligament and both the medial and lateral menisci. All of these injuries were treated surgically, with anatomical reduction and rigid fixation. The limb function at 1 year post-surgery was excellent.
