Abstract
The term posterior oblique ligament was proposed in 1973 but the specific anatomy of this region has been controversial. It has been concluded that the posterior oblique ligament is separated from the medial collateral ligament, each with distinctly different bony attachment points. In this article, we report a posterior oblique ligament avulsion fracture associated with a medial collateral ligament rupture.
