Abstract
IntroductionPosterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears are commonly due to motor vehicle accidents or sports-related trauma but can differ geographically. We report the various causes, types, and associated injuries of PCL tears in Taiwan.MethodsOne hundred forty patients with arthroscopically treated PCL tears were reviewed.ResultsScooter-related trauma was the most common cause of PCL tear in our series and is typically an isolated ligamentous injury. High-velocity motor vehicle accidents accounted for a small percentage of PCL tears.ConclusionScooter-related PCL tears are common in Taiwanese patients and are often isolated ligamentous injuries similar to low-velocity sports-related PCL injuries.
