Abstract Background Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures are rare and difficult to treat. The present work aimed to examine the effect of an innovative arthroscopy method for the treatment of PCL tibial avulsion fractures using mini-plate reduction and fixation through two tibial tunnels and the posterior trans-septal portal.Methods Totally 19 patients (median age, 33 years; range, 23–43 years) with PCL tibial avulsion fractures who underwent treatment with an arthroscopic suture bridge method were retrospectively assessed. Knee function pre-operation and at last follow up was assessed via Lysholm and Tegner scores. A KT-2000 arthrometer was employed for determining knee stability, the range of motion (ROM), and side-to-side differences. Plain radiography and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) exams were performed for patient evaluation.Results No patient was switched to conventional open surgery due to difficult intraoperative procedures. Mean post-surgical Lysholm and Tegner scores (P < 0.001) were significantly improved in comparison with presurgical values. KT-2000 examination revealed markedly reduced side-to-side differences at last follow-up than observed preoperatively (1.2 ± 0.6 VS. 9.3 ± 2.2; P < 0.001). Radiography at the final follow up revealed solid union at the fracture site in the totality of 19 cases.Conclusions This new arthroscopy mini-plate fixation and posterior trans-septal method for posterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fractures resulted in good clinico-radiological outcomes, with adequate stability and fracture site healing. It could be employed to repair avulsion fragments of various sizes.Level of evidence IV

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture

Abstract The morphology and histology changes in the medial meniscus after posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) rupture are poorly understood. Forty-eight rabbits were divided into matched mode pairs; each rabbit had an experimental side, in which the PCL was transacted, and a control side. At the 4, 8, 16 and 24 weeks after the PCL transection, each of the 12 rabbits was killed. Histology was performed to detect the expression of the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-13 in the medial meniscus. We found that medial meniscus displayed significant degenerative characteristics in morphology. The histological evaluation of the degeneration found that the expression levels of TIMP-1, MMP-1 and MMP-13 in the medial meniscus were higher in the experiment side than those in the control side (P<0.05). The expression of both TIMP-1 and MMP-13 was initially elevated and then decreased. The MMP-1 expression reached its peak swiftly and then maintained a relatively high level. There were clear time-dependent degenerative changes in the histology of the medial meniscus after PCL rupture. The high expression of TIMP-1, MMP-1 and MMP-13 in the cartilage may be responsible for the degeneration, and PCL rupture may trigger meniscus degradation and ultimately osteoarthritis.
