About PCL Avulsion Fracture

A PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) Avulsion Fracture procedure in pediatric orthopedics is a specialized surgical intervention to reattach a fragment of bone that has been pulled away from its normal position by the PCL, a key stabilizing ligament in the knee. This injury is common in active children and adolescents following high-impact trauma. The surgery typically involves making a small incision, carefully repositioning the bone fragment back to its anatomical site, and securing it with screws, sutures, or other fixation devices. The primary goal is to restore knee stability, ensure proper ligament function, and prevent long-term complications like arthritis or chronic instability. Early and precise surgical management in pediatric patients is crucial for optimal healing and a full return to sports and activities.

Key Highlights

Restores knee stability and proper biomechanics for growing children.Minimizes the risk of long-term complications like post-traumatic arthritis.Allows for precise anatomical repair, promoting optimal ligament healing.Facilitates a timely return to sports and physical activities.Performed by specialists trained in pediatric bone and growth plate management.

Who is this surgery for?

Displaced avulsion fracture of the PCL tibial attachment, where the bone fragment is out of position.
Knee instability or a positive posterior drawer test on clinical examination.
Failure of conservative treatment (like bracing) to stabilize the knee.
Associated injuries within the knee, such as other ligament tears or meniscal damage.
Active pediatric or adolescent patients for whom future sports participation is a priority.

How to prepare

Comprehensive physical examination and imaging studies (X-rays, MRI) to assess the fracture displacement and associated injuries.
Pre-operative blood tests and a general health evaluation to ensure fitness for anesthesia.
Discussion with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon and anesthesiologist about the surgical plan and risks.
Fasting for a specified period (typically 6-8 hours for solids) before the scheduled surgery time.
Arranging for post-operative support at home, including crutches and assistance with mobility.

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Stiffness or loss of full range of motion in the knee joint.
Persistent pain or instability in the knee.
Damage to nearby nerves or blood vessels.
Hardware irritation or the need for a future surgery to remove fixation devices.
Rare risk of growth plate injury affecting future bone growth.
Blood clot formation (deep vein thrombosis).

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial period of immobilization with a knee brace or cast to protect the repair.
Use of crutches with no weight-bearing on the operated leg for several weeks.
Early initiation of physical therapy to manage swelling, restore range of motion, and prevent stiffness.
Gradual progression to weight-bearing and strengthening exercises as guided by the surgeon and therapist.
Regular follow-up appointments for X-rays to monitor bone healing.
A structured rehabilitation program lasting several months to safely return to sports.

Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for full return to sports

PATIENT REVIEW

Reyansh Patel, a 13-year-old soccer enthusiast,...

Reyansh Patel, a 13-year-old soccer enthusiast, was known for his agility and dedication to his team. During a crucial match, he attempted a powerful kick but felt a sudden, sharp 'pop' in the back of his knee, followed by immediate pain and an inability to bear weight. His knee swelled significantly. An MRI at the pediatric orthopedic clinic revealed a PCL avulsion fracture, where the ligament had pulled a piece of bone from the tibia. The doctor explained that due to the size of the bone fragment and its displacement, surgery was necessary to reattach it and restore stability to his growing knee. Reyansh was terrified of surgery and the prospect of missing the entire season. The arthroscopic procedure went smoothly. Post-surgery, he was in a knee brace and on crutches, starting gentle physical therapy within weeks. After six months of diligent rehab, he regained full strength and range of motion. Emotionally, he transitioned from fear and frustration about being sidelined to feeling empowered by his recovery discipline. He returned to soccer the following season with a newfound appreciation for his body's resilience and a more cautious approach to his training.
