Inverted deltoid posterior cruciate ligament femoral insertion accompanied with medial synovial fold: a case of a complex posterior cruciate ligament anatomical variation recalcitrant to conservative treatment

ConclusionThe current study presented a rare and complex anatomical variation of the PCL that was symptomatic and recalcitrant to conservative treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reveal the variant morphology of the PCL, and arthroscopy provides the definite treatment. This case report may be useful for orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists to consider anatomical PCL variations during differential diagnosis in patients with non-specific clinical presentation and findings.
