A modified classification of tibial avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament and its association with meniscal and ligament injuries
Introduction
Although Myer and McKeever's system is most commonly used to classify tibial avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament (TAPCL) injuries, some publications report injuries that cannot be classified according to this system. Hence, there was a need to modify this classification. Management of TAPCL depends on the displacement of the fragment and associated meniscal and ligament injuries. The primary aim of this study was to propose a modified classification and assess the association of meniscus and ligament injuries with various types of TAPCLs.
Methods
This was a retrospective, analytical study of patients managed at our center between August 2019 and August 2024. After recording the demographic parameters, all the cases included were classified into five different types according to the modified classification. The incidence of meniscus and ligament injuries was recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. The normality of the data was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Based on the normal distribution, data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range). Categorical data were expressed as numbers (percentages). Comparative analysis used Pearson chi-squared tests with 2×3 and 2×2 contingency tables; odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for 2×2 tables.
Results
Type III injuries were the most common ones (39.68%), followed by type II (23.58 %), type IV (17.92 %), and type V injuries (12.27 %). Thirty-two cases (30.19%) were categorized as types IV and V, which are not accounted for in the Myer and McKeever classification system. The overall incidence of meniscal injury was 24.53%, and 27.36% of patients exhibited associated ligamentous injuries. More importantly, 89.66% of ligament injuries and all meniscal injuries occurred in association with high-grade avulsion types (P > 0.05). Specifically, 73.07% of meniscal injuries and 51.72% of ligamentous injuries were observed in type IV and V cases.
Conclusion
One-third of posterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fractures in our cohort could not be classified using the Myer and McKeever classification system as 32 (30.19%) were categorized as type IV and V. Nearly one-third of the TAPCLs were found to have meniscus or other ligament injuries. A higher incidence of ligament and meniscal injuries was noted with higher-grade subtypes.
