Clinical Effectiveness of Arthroscopy-Assisted Fixation in the Treatment of Avulsed Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries.

ABSTRACT

Avulsed posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are complex orthopedic challenges that require careful consideration and optimal management. Arthroscopy offers advantages, including smaller incisions, reduced soft tissue disruption, reduced postoperative pain, and improved visualization of intraarticular anatomy. Arthroscopy-assisted fixation results in superior clinical outcomes. Patient-specific factors, graft choice, and timing of surgery significantly impact outcomes. Rehabilitation is vital and requires a tailored approach to restore knee function. Biomechanically, arthroscopy-assisted fixation enhances joint stability and range of motion, reducing the risk of secondary injuries. Advancements in technology and surgical techniques further improve outcomes. Concomitant injuries and incorporation are essential considerations. Arthroscopy-assisted fixation is a recommended approach, but personalized care is crucial for successful recovery. Its precision in reattaching the PCL enhances joint stability and clinical results, aligning with outcomes seen in conventional procedures. Using biocompatible materials in fixation devices has significantly reduced the risk of allergic reactions or complications. This has allowed a faster and smoother recovery process for patients undergoing arthroscopy-assisted fixation. The incorporation of physical therapy and rehabilitation programs after surgery plays a vital role in restoring joint function and preventing muscle atrophy. The combination of advanced technology, surgical techniques, and personalized care has greatly improved the success rate of arthroscopy-assisted fixation procedures. Advancements in technology further improve patient outcomes, but each case should be individually assessed to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
