摘　　要：BACKGROUND Tibial avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament(PCL)are challenging to treat and compromise knee stability and function.Traditional open surgery often requires extensive soft tissue dissection,which may increase the risk of morbidity.In response to these concerns,arthroscopic techniques have been evolving.The aim of this study was to introduce a modified arthroscopic tech-nique utilizing an M-shaped suture fixation method for the treatment of tibial avulsion fractures of the PCL and to evaluate its outcomes through a case series.AIM To evaluate the effects of arthroscopic M-shaped suture fixation on treating tibia avulsion fractures of the PCL.METHODS We developed a modified arthroscopic M-shaped suture fixation technique for tibia avulsion fractures of the PCL.This case series included 18 patients who underwent the procedure between January 2021 and December 2022.The patients were assessed for range of motion(ROM),Lysholm score and International knee documentation committee(IKDC)score.Postoperative complications were also recorded.RESULTS The patients were followed for a mean of 13.83±2.33 months.All patients showed radiographic union.At the final follow-up,all patients had full ROM and a negative posterior drawer test.The mean Lysholm score significantly improved from 45.28±8.92 preoperatively to 91.83±4.18 at the final follow-up(P<0.001),and the mean IKDC score improved from 41.98±6.06 preoperatively to 90.89±5.32 at the final follow-up(P<0.001).CONCLUSION The modified arthroscopic M-shaped suture fixation technique is a reliable and effective treatment for tibia avulsion fractures of the PCL,with excellent fracture healing and functional recovery.
