ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Only a few case reports regarding pediatric posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) ruptures without bone avulsion exist in the literature. The present study aims to share our experience in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of a child with a proximal PCL tear. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
This article reports a 5-year-old female diagnosed with a proximal PCL tear. The ruptured PCL was repaired with an all-epiphyseal suture tape augmentation (STA) without evidence of growth plate violation.RESULTS:
The suture tape was removed under arthroscopy and revealed the PCL was re-attached at 12 months after the first surgery. And at the time of this report, 36 months after surgery, she was doing well without any problems and with negative posterior drawer test.CONCLUSIONS:
Pediatric PCL tear without bone avulsion is rare. However, the torn PCL was noticed healed based on an arthroscopic second-look.Palabras clave
