Sumario:We present the case of a 24-year-old male who sustained a fall from a motorcycle resulting in a rare combination of injuries, including avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and femoral lateral collateral ligament (LCL), along with an ipsilateral diaphyseal tibia fracture. This case report aims to highlight the importance of early diagnosis, appropriate management, and comprehensive rehabilitation for such complex knee injuries. We discuss the patient's presentation, radiographic findings, surgical intervention, postoperative care and long-term outcomes. To our knowledge this kind of injury has never been documented in the literature.
