To date, researchers have not reached agreement on which type of fixation material should be used to treat PCL tibial avulsion fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of double button plate fixation in the treatment of posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures.We retrospectively reviewed our database, which was collected prospectively. From January 2019 to January 2020, 33 patients with posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. Hypothesis To verify the effects of double button plate fixation of PCL avulsion fractures. Methods Patients with posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures were treated with double button plate fixation. The primary outcomes of this study were surgical complications (fixation failure/displacement, implant breakage, nonunion, infection), radiological parameters, and knee function. Secondary outcomes included reoperation rates for the fixation methods and the prevalence of symptomatic hardware causing soft tissue irritation. Results The results showed that double button plate fixation have no incidence of complications and can recovery postoperative range of motion (ROM), Knee Society Score (KSS) function and Lysholm scores. Conclusion The use of double button plate fixation technology has the following advantages: less trauma, shorter operation time, convenient use of instruments and fixtures, and it does not need to be taken out again, thus avoiding secondary trauma. Moreover, the strength of the suture is large, and the tension of the posterior cruciate ligament can be fully reduced by tying the suture band. Double button plate fixation under direct vision is safe and reliable without the need for additional equipment. Even comminuted fractures can also be effectively fixed by knotting.Our results suggest that this technique is a reliable and useful alternative treatment for irreparable rotator cuff tears.

Posterior cruciate ligament Avulsion fracture Double Button Plate Fixation Treatment Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Background The posterior cruciate ligament plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the knee joint[1]. In general, simple PCL injury is not common, and tibial avulsion fracture is the most common type. It has been reported that avulsion fracture of the tibial insertion is common in young people. The main causes of avulsion fractures are traffic accidents and falling injuries during strenuous exercise[2]. The damage mechanisms usually include overflexion, anteroposterior and hyperextension. PCL tibial avulsion fracture is a special type of PCL injury, accounting for approximately 10% of all PCL injuries[2,3]. In the past, due to insufficient understanding and limited examination instruments, misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis led to untimely treatment, poor treatment effect, a high risk of fracture displacement, delayed union and nonunion, and the dysfunction of the knee joint in later stages[4]. The treatment of PCL tibial avulsion fractures includes nonoperative treatment, traditional open reduction internal fixation, and arthroscopic surgery[5]. Open surgery has been widely carried out, and the main internal fixation materials include absorbable screws, cannulated screws, and anchors with threads. Cannulated screw fixation has high fixation strength and stability, but all the stress is concentrated in the tail of the screw, which easily causes re-fracture and leads to internal fixation failure; at the same time, the huge tension of the PCL during knee joint movement may lead to higher risks of re-fracture and fracture block displacement, limiting early functional exercise and increasing complications. Arthroscopic internal fixation can complete the exploration of the knee joint through several small incisions and monitor the operation in the process of drilling the tunnel or screw placement. It has the advantages of minimal surgical trauma and fast patient recovery but also features high technical requirements for surgeons, a long learning curve, high requirements for equipment, and requirements for expensive equipment[6]. At present, open surgery and internal fixation are still mainstream. The appearance of internal fixation materials gives surgeons more choices. They can fix the fracture block directly through the posterior small incision. Internal fixation methods have many disadvantages, such as insufficient fixation strength, high tension on the cruciate ligament and long-term immobilization, which to some extent affect early postoperative rehabilitation exercise, resulting in knee joint adhesion, flexion and extension function limitations and other shortcomings[7]. An alternative is to utilize double button plate fixation methods. We adopted double button plate fixation in the management of posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. To date, researchers have not reached an agreement on which type of fixation material should be used to treat PCL tibial avulsion fractures. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the associations of perioperative and postoperative outcomes of double button plate[3]. Methods Patients We retrospectively reviewed our database, which was collected prospectively. From January 2019 to January 2020, 33 patients with posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures underwent surgery by a single surgeon. The patients signed an informed consent form approved by the Institutional Review Board at our hospital (Tianjin First Center Hospital). The clinical data of 33 patients with regular follow-up were obtained, with 20 males and 13 females. The inclusion criterion was a single avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament, the time of injury was less than 3 weeks, all patients had complete imaging examination of the knee joint, with a positive posterior drawer test and Lanchman test, and they were type II and type III according to the Meyers classification. The exclusion criteria included combined tibial plateau fractures, fractures around the knee joint, comminuted fracture, pathological fracture, Meyers type I, anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injuries, medial and lateral collateral ligament injuries, and combined severe vascular and nerve injuries. Traffic accidents were the major mechanism of injury, accounting for 18 (55%) of 33 cases, along with 13 cases of fall injury (39%) and 2 cases of injury involving accidental sprains (6%) (Table 1).

Radiography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging We obtained preoperative and follow-up radiographs in all patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed with a 3.0-T closed-type scanner (MRT-2000/V2,Tianjin,China). Oblique coronal, oblique sagittal, and axial T2-weighted MR images were acquired for structural and qualitative assessment of the posterior cruciate ligament, and repair integrity was determined. Radiography and MRI were performed by a single surgeon before surgery; at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery; and yearly thereafter, and this study used the final data. Average follow-up was 14 months (range, 12 to16 months) after surgery. Surgical Technique We performed surgery using general anaesthesia with patient in the prone position, and the injury leg was bound with a tourniquet. We examined knee range of motion and positive posterior drawer test and Lanchman test with the patient under general anesthesia. A 6-cm-long longitudinal incision was made, and the posterior edge of the tibia was exposed. After reduction, Kirschner wire was used for temporary fixation, a bone canal was established , and double button plate fixation was used for compression fixation. During the operation, the fracture was stable through passive movement. Physical examination showed that the knee joint was stable. X-ray fluoroscopy showed that the fracture was well reduced and fixed, and the position of the titanium plate was acceptable (Figure 1, Figure 2). The limb was fixed with plaster at 10 degrees of extension. Postoperative Protocol Postoperative radiographs were taken after surgery. Patients were given a plaster as protection postoperatively. In general, 0 to 90 degrees of flexion in the brace was allowed for the first 2 weeks postoperatively. Patients were given their first follow-up appointment at 2 weeks postoperatively for wound inspection, and then they were followed up every 2 to 4 weeks to monitor for functional return and clinical/radiological fracture union. The knee joint activity gradually strengthened by the fourth week after the operation, the passive flexion activity was 120°, and some weight-bearing walking began at the sixth week after the operation. Weight-bearing walking was completely carried out 8 weeks after the operation, and the injured state was essentially restored at 12 weeks after the operation. Statistical Analysis Data were analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). All data were reported as the mean±standard deviation (SD). One-way ANOVA was employed for all statistical analyses, followed by Student-Newman-Keul’s test. Values were compared using multiple comparisons, where p-values of 0.05 or less were considered significant. Results Mean operation time and average bleeding loss were recorded (Table 1). The primary outcomes of this study were surgical complications (fixation failure/displacement, implant breakage, nonunion, infection), radiological parameters, and knee function. Secondary outcomes included reoperation rates for the fixation methods and the prevalence of symptomatic hardware causing soft tissue irritation. At 2 weeks after the operation, the plaster was removed, all patients had normal flexion and extension of the knee joint at 6-8 weeks, and 3 months after the operation, the fracture had reached the healing standard. Functional outcome was assessed by means of walking status, range of motion, and KSS function and Lysholm scores upon final follow-up (Table 2, Figure 3). Overall, average time to final follow-up was 20 months (range, 16 to 24months), and the fractures had healed 3 months after the operation. There were no neurovascular fractures or infections. Follow-up X-rays showed that the avulsion fracture fragments of the tibial attachment point of the posterior cruciate ligament healed well, and there was no displacement or implant breakage of the fracture fragments (Table 3).

In the flexion position, the lateral condyle of the femur moves backward, and the femur rotates outwards. The force from front to back causes the posterior tibia to be impacted by the femoral condyle, and the tension of the PCL increases sharply, which eventually leads to avulsion fracture of the PCL tibial insertion point[8]. Because the contact area between the posteromedial tibia and the medial femoral condyle is larger than that between the posterolateral tibia and the lateral femoral condyle, PCL tibial avulsion fracture fragments are increasingly larger. If not intervened, they can seriously affect the stability of the posterior part of the knee joint, and the fracture block protrudes behind the tibial intercondylar ridge, which may induce impingement syndrome[9]. In the late stage, quadriceps atrophy, joint effusion, articular cartilage degeneration and secondary meniscus injury can become aggravated, which will seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Therefore, the current view is that PCL tibial avulsion fractures should be firmly fixed to avoid postoperative displacement or poor healing, resulting in the instability of the knee joint [10]. There are many kinds of surgical methods for PCL tibial avulsion fracture, including arthroscopic and open surgical approaches. Arthroscopic surgery has the advantages of minimal trauma, a small amount of soft tissue damage and fast recovery. However, in most total arthroscopic surgeries, a bone tunnel must be drilled on the tibia. The tunnel introduces an internal fixator through the tunnel, which has the characteristics of complex operation, high equipment requirements and a long learning time, limiting its development [11]. Open surgery for PCL tibial avulsion fractures has been widely carried out. The internal fixation materials mainly include steel wires, absorbable screws, hollow screws, Kirschner wires, and wire anchors. Steel wire fixation is convenient and economical, but it easily causes further fracture of the fracture block in the process of the operation, causing secondary damage to the blood supply of the fracture block and affecting fracture healing; moreover, to avoid the fracture of the steel wire after the operation, long-term braking is necessary, resulting in limited joint function and joint stiffness[12]. The absorbable screw material can be absorbed after the operation, and it is unnecessary to remove the internal fixator, avoiding a secondary operation and trauma. However, the external fixation time of absorbable screws, such as plasters or braces, is long, and 4~6 weeks of fixation is advocated. At the same time, absorbable screws have low strength and are characterized by weak fixation and easy displacement[13]. Simple cannulated screw fixation has high fixation strength and stability, but all the stress is concentrated in the screw tail, which easily leads to stress concentration, refracture and internal fixation failure[14]. Due to comminuted fracture, small bone fragments are often difficult to fix, but early rehabilitation exercise requires relatively stable fixation. For the treatment of this kind of fracture, in addition to conventional surgical methods such as tension band steel wire fixation, purse suture fixation and special plate fixation are also currently commonly used. For patients with posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture and repair difficulties, a more classic treatment method is to insert two button plates into the broken end of the fracture. The sutures are sewn out along the aponeurosis, and then the two circuits are sewn and knotted with each other. With a button plate, the fracture block is fixed reliably, the fracture surface is in good contact, and the PCL is connected by a nonabsorbable tension suture. This method can reduce any large movement of the fracture block during knee joint functional exercise, disperse the concentrated stress around the button plate during knee joint flexion, reduce the risk of refracture, promote fracture healing and avoid joint adhesion complications[15,16]. The use of double button plate fixation technology has the following advantages: less trauma, shorter operation time, convenient use of instruments and fixtures, and it does not need to be taken out again, thus avoiding secondary trauma. Moreover, the strength of the suture is large, and the tension of the posterior cruciate ligament can be fully reduced by tying the suture band. Double button plate fixation under direct vision is safe and reliable without the need for additional equipment. Even comminuted fractures can also be effectively fixed by knotting. Limitations There are also shortcomings in this study, such as small sample size , which may lead to deviations in the evaluation of curative effect. Further expansion of sample size and long-term follow-up are needed to confirm this. Conclusion In this study, double button plate fixation technology for the treatment of posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures has the advantages of minimal trauma, simple operation, reliable fixation and a large fracture contact area, fewer postoperative complications, and restored stability and function of knee joints. Our results suggest that this reconstruction technique is a reliable and useful alternative treatment.

In general, simple PCL injury is not common, and tibial avulsion fracture is the most common type. It has been reported that avulsion fracture of the tibial insertion is common in young people. The main causes of avulsion fractures are traffic accidents and falling injuries during strenuous exercise[2]. The damage mechanisms usually include overflexion, anteroposterior and hyperextension. PCL tibial avulsion fracture is a special type of PCL injury, accounting for approximately\u0026nbsp;10% of all PCL injuries[2,3]. In the past, due to insufficient understanding and limited examination instruments, misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis led to untimely treatment, poor treatment effect, a high risk of fracture displacement, delayed union and nonunion, and the dysfunction of the knee joint in later stages[4].\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe treatment of PCL tibial avulsion fractures includes nonoperative treatment, traditional open reduction internal fixation, and arthroscopic surgery[5]. Open surgery has been widely carried out, and the main internal fixation materials include absorbable screws, cannulated screws, and anchors with threads. Cannulated screw fixation has high fixation strength and stability, but all the stress is concentrated in the tail of the screw, which easily causes re-fracture and leads to internal fixation failure; at the same time, the huge tension of the PCL during knee joint movement may lead to higher risks of re-fracture and fracture block displacement, limiting early functional exercise and increasing complications. Arthroscopic internal fixation can complete the exploration of the knee joint through several small incisions and monitor the operation in the process of drilling the tunnel or screw placement. It has the advantages of minimal surgical trauma and fast patient recovery but also features high technical requirements for surgeons, a long learning curve, high requirements for equipment, and requirements for expensive equipment[6]. At present, open surgery and internal fixation are still mainstream. The appearance of internal fixation materials gives surgeons more choices. They can fix the fracture block directly through the posterior small incision.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternal fixation methods have many disadvantages, such as insufficient fixation strength, high tension on the cruciate ligament and long-term immobilization, which to some extent affect early postoperative rehabilitation exercise, resulting in knee joint adhesion, flexion and extension function limitations and other shortcomings[7]. An alternative is to utilize double button plate fixation methods. We adopted double button plate fixation in the management of posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. To date, researchers have not reached an agreement on which type of fixation material should be used to treat PCL tibial avulsion fractures. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the associations of perioperative and postoperative outcomes of double button plate[3].\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Methods","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatients\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe retrospectively reviewed our database, which was collected prospectively. From January 2019 to January 2020, 33 patients with posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures underwent surgery by a single surgeon. The patients signed an informed consent form approved by the Institutional Review Board at our hospital (Tianjin First Center Hospital). The clinical data of 33 patients with regular follow-up were obtained, with 20 males and 13 females. The inclusion criterion was a single avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament, the time of injury was less than 3 weeks, all patients had complete imaging examination of the knee joint, with a positive posterior drawer test and Lanchman test, and they were type II and type III according to the Meyers classification. The exclusion criteria included combined tibial plateau fractures, fractures around the knee joint, comminuted fracture, pathological fracture, Meyers type I, anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injuries, medial and lateral collateral ligament injuries, and combined severe vascular and nerve injuries. Traffic accidents were the major mechanism of injury, accounting for 18 (55%) of 33 cases, along with 13 cases of fall injury (39%) and 2 cases of injury involving accidental sprains (6%) (Table 1).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable 1 Summary of Patients\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"0\"\u003e\n

We examined knee range of motion and positive posterior drawer test and Lanchman test with the patient under general anesthesia. A 6-cm-long longitudinal incision was made, and the posterior edge of the tibia was exposed. After reduction, Kirschner wire was used for temporary fixation, a bone canal was established , and double button plate fixation was used for compression fixation. During the operation, the fracture was stable through passive movement. Physical examination showed that the knee joint was stable. X-ray fluoroscopy showed that the fracture was well reduced and fixed, and the position of the titanium plate was acceptable (Figure 1, Figure 2). The limb was fixed with plaster at 10 degrees of extension.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePostoperative Protocol\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostoperative radiographs were taken after surgery. Patients were given a plaster as protection postoperatively. In general, 0 to 90 degrees of flexion in the brace was allowed for the first 2 weeks postoperatively. Patients were given their first follow-up appointment at 2 weeks postoperatively for wound inspection, and then they were followed up every 2 to 4 weeks to monitor for functional return and clinical/radiological fracture union. The knee joint activity gradually strengthened by the fourth week after the operation, the passive flexion activity was 120\u0026deg;, and some weight-bearing walking began at the sixth week after the operation. Weight-bearing walking was completely carried out 8 weeks after the operation, and the injured state was essentially restored at 12 weeks after the operation.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStatistical Analysis\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eData were analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA).

mainly occurs in knee flexion.\u0026nbsp;In the flexion position, the lateral condyle of the femur moves backward, and the femur rotates outwards. The force from front to back causes the posterior tibia to be impacted by the femoral condyle, and the tension of the PCL increases sharply, which eventually leads to avulsion fracture of the PCL tibial insertion point[8]. Because the contact area between the posteromedial tibia and the medial femoral condyle is larger than that between the posterolateral tibia and the lateral femoral condyle, PCL tibial avulsion fracture fragments are increasingly larger. If not intervened, they can seriously affect the stability of the posterior part of the knee joint, and the fracture block protrudes behind the tibial intercondylar ridge, which may induce impingement syndrome[9]. In the late stage, quadriceps atrophy, joint effusion, articular cartilage degeneration and secondary meniscus injury can become aggravated, which will seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Therefore, the current view is that PCL tibial avulsion fractures should be firmly fixed to avoid postoperative displacement or poor healing, resulting in the instability of the knee joint [10].\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many kinds of surgical methods for PCL tibial avulsion fracture, including arthroscopic and open surgical approaches. Arthroscopic surgery has the advantages of minimal trauma, a small amount of soft tissue damage and fast recovery. However, in most total arthroscopic surgeries, a bone tunnel must be drilled on the tibia. The tunnel introduces an internal fixator through the tunnel, which has the characteristics of complex operation, high equipment requirements and a long learning time, limiting its development [11]. Open surgery for PCL tibial avulsion fractures has been widely carried out. The internal fixation materials mainly include steel wires, absorbable screws, hollow screws, Kirschner wires, and wire anchors. Steel wire fixation is convenient and economical, but it easily causes further fracture of the fracture block in the process of the operation, causing secondary damage to the blood supply of the fracture block and affecting fracture healing; moreover, to avoid the fracture of the steel wire after the operation, long-term braking is necessary, resulting in limited joint function and joint stiffness[12]. The absorbable screw material can be absorbed after the operation, and it is unnecessary to remove the internal fixator, avoiding a secondary operation and trauma. However, the external fixation time of absorbable screws, such as plasters or braces, is long, and 4~6 weeks of fixation is advocated. At the same time, absorbable screws have low strength and are characterized by weak fixation and easy displacement[13]. Simple cannulated screw fixation has high fixation strength and stability, but all the stress is concentrated in the screw tail, which easily leads to stress concentration, refracture and internal fixation failure[14].\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to comminuted fracture, small bone fragments are often difficult to fix, but early rehabilitation exercise requires relatively stable fixation. For the treatment of this kind of fracture, in addition to conventional surgical methods such as tension band steel wire fixation, purse suture fixation and special plate fixation are also currently commonly used. For patients with posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture and repair difficulties, a more classic treatment method is to insert two button plates into the broken end of the fracture. The sutures are sewn out along the aponeurosis, and then the two circuits are sewn and knotted with each other. With a button plate, the fracture block is fixed reliably, the fracture surface is in good contact, and the PCL is connected by a nonabsorbable tension suture. This method can reduce any large movement of the fracture block during knee joint functional exercise, disperse the concentrated stress around the button plate during knee joint flexion, reduce the risk of refracture, promote fracture healing and avoid joint adhesion complications[15,16].\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of double button plate fixation technology has the following advantages: less trauma, shorter operation time, convenient use of instruments and fixtures, and it does not need to be taken out again, thus avoiding secondary trauma. Moreover, the strength of the suture is large, and the tension of the posterior cruciate ligament can be fully reduced by tying the suture band. Double button plate fixation under direct vision is safe and reliable without the need for additional equipment. Even comminuted fractures can also be effectively fixed by knotting.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimitations\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are also shortcomings in this study, such as small sample size , which may lead to deviations in the evaluation of curative effect.
