Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) avulsion fractures without any concomitant injuries are extremely rare in skeletally mature patients and sporadically reported in the literature. Such injuries are more likely to be associated with tibial plateau fractures, other knee ligament ruptures, distal femoral fractures, or knee dislocations. In this article, a case of a 55-year-old male, who suffered a combined displaced ACL-posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fracture, without any related injuries, is reported.

- Pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) is a frequent cause of shoulder pain, often requiring surgical intervention when conservative methods fail, with this study focusing on arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis.
- A case series of 23 patients treated surgically between 2016 and 2022 showed significant improvements in shoulder function and pain relief, with assessments indicating substantial gains in scores after one year.
- The study concludes that arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis is both effective and safe for treating isolated LHB pathology, as no postoperative complications were reported.
Article Synopsis
- The Achilles tendon is the most frequently ruptured tendon in the body, leading to various management options being studied over the years.
- Minimally invasive techniques, particularly endoscopic flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer, are becoming more popular for treating both neglected and acute Achilles tendon ruptures.
- This technical note provides a detailed description of the endoscopic transfer technique, aiming to simplify the procedure for broader surgical acceptance while emphasizing the need for experienced surgeons to perform it.
