Abstract:
248 cases of avulsion of posterior cruciate ligament treated with screw fixation.- The Trickey approach through the poplitear fossa to treat the avulsion of PCL is difficult and hazardous. - From 1991-1999 at CTO, 248 cases of avulsion of PCL were treated (169 men-79 women, age 13-60, traffic accident: 229 cases). In 232 cases, we used a simplified approach which was not transcrect the gastrocnemius or expose the neurovascular structures but only retracted the medical head of gastrocnemiers to expose the posterior capsule of the knee. This technique is very easy, safe and good rehabilitation
