Tibial avulsion fractures of pcl —A comparison of outcomes between isolated, associated and missed injuries

Conclusion The Burks and Schaffer approach is technically simple and safe; our modification enables better reduction and easy fixation. Functional outcome of the knee is best in isolated injuries; good in associated injuries despite the presence of other fractures; fair in treated missed injuries and definitely poor in untreated cases. Identifying the tell-tale signs will help us avoid missed injuries.
