A rare case of symptomatic nonunion of avulsion fracture of the posterior medial meniscus root with concomitant posterior cruciate ligament injury

The menisci are the essential structures of the knee joint because they disperse body weight and reduce friction during the movement. An avulsion fracture of the posterior medial meniscus root, also known as meniscal ossicles, can lead to meniscal extrusion. Consequently, the medial meniscus loses i...
