Abstract:
[Objective]To investigate the feasibility and short-term effects of arthroscopic suture fixation with cannulated screw and washer for bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament.[Method]Arthroscopic suture fixation with cannulated screw and washer was carried out in 30 patients with bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament.The posterior cruciate ligament and avulsion bone fragment were held together with two Ethibond 5 polyester threads,which were first wrapped around the posterior cruciate ligament from the anterior to the posterior,and then tied behind the posterior cruciate ligament and over the bone fragment.The threads were pulled out through tibia tunnels,tighted and fixed on cannulated screw and washer under the tibia tunnels 2 cm.[Result]The operation time were 60-90 min.A follow-up was made in 10 patients for 6-12 months.All fractures were united without displacement at 6 weeks after operation.No postoperative complications occurred.The Lysholm scores were 83-95(89.6?4.03).[Conclusion]Arthroscopic suture fixation with cannulated screw and washer for bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament technique is simple to perform and gives a satisfactory short-term results.
