Abstract
A case of traumatic avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligame nt in association with a large osteochondral fracture of the medial ti bial condyle is described. The osteochondral fragment was inverted 180 degrees. Many associated injuries of the posterior cruciate ligament have been described. This unusual combination of fractures to the best of our knowledge has not been reported before. The mechanism of injur y and its clinical implications are discussed.
