Right PCL Avulsion Fracture Successfully Treated with PCL Avulsion Fixation

Advanced Knee Ligament Care at Balanku Hospital

Injuries involving the knee ligaments can significantly affect stability and movement, especially when the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is involved. The PCL plays a vital role in preventing backward movement of the tibia and maintaining overall knee stability.

At Balanku Hospital, we provide specialized orthopedic care for complex knee ligament injuries. We are pleased to share the successful treatment and recovery of Mr. Huligeppa, who presented with a right PCL avulsion fracture.

Understanding the Condition

Mr. Huligeppa complained of:

• Persistent knee pain

• Instability while walking

• Difficulty bending and straightening the knee

Clinical examination and imaging studies confirmed a right PCL avulsion fracture, where the ligament pulls off a fragment of bone from its attachment site, commonly seen after trauma or high-impact injuries.

Treatment at Balanku Hospital

Considering the severity of symptoms and functional limitation, the orthopedic team recommended PCL avulsion fixation to restore knee stability and prevent long-term complications.

Surgical Procedure Performed

PCL Avulsion Fixation

Mr. Huligeppa underwent PCL avulsion fixation, a procedure aimed at reattaching the avulsed bone fragment and restoring the integrity of the ligament.

Key benefits of this procedure include:

• Restoration of knee stability

• Relief from pain

• Preservation of native ligament tissue

• Improved knee biomechanics

The fixation was performed using advanced surgical techniques to ensure accurate alignment and stable healing.

Procedure Overview

Post-Surgical Recovery & Physiotherapy

Postoperatively, Mr. Huligeppa was enrolled in a regular and structured physiotherapy program, which played a crucial role in his recovery. The rehabilitation program focused on:

• Gradual restoration of knee range of motion (ROM)

• Strengthening surrounding muscles

• Improving stability and functional movement

Outcome

With consistent physiotherapy and follow-up care, Mr. Huligeppa achieved:

• Complete recovery of knee range of motion

• Resolution of pain and instability

• Return to normal daily activities
