- Abstract
Femoral ACL avulsion fractures were not well described in the literature, and there were only several reports describing mostly immature patients. A case of 50-year-old man with ACL femoral attachment avulsion fracture after pivoting knee injury during skiing was presented. The bony attachment was reduced and fixed arthroscopically with screws. Four months after surgery, patient was allowed to return to full sport activity with full range of motion. He was able to perform a one-leg-hop test without limitation, and the strength of quadriceps muscle was comparable to contralateral side. Lachman and pivot shift tests were normal. Level of evidence IV.
