Abstract
Posterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fractures are a distinct clinical entity. Although the optimal fixation strategy for these fractures remains debated, arthroscopic fixation emerges as a preferred surgical approach owing to its minimally invasive nature, superior intra-articular visualization, and effectiveness in restoring ligamentous tension and joint stability. In this technical note, we use a 3-point fixation technique involving 3 small-diameter tibial bone tunnels for the management of a posterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture. This approach facilitates precise fracture reduction and significantly enhances postoperative knee joint stability.
