Fracture Healing Timeline. Most fractures healed within 3 to 6 months postoperatively. In the hollow screws group, two hollow screws were used to fix the PCL avulsion bone block from different directions, with the threads placed as close as possible to the anterior bone cortex to achieve greater tensile strength (X-rays: a. Anteroposterior view; b. Lateral view). In the suture bridge group, The locking suture anchors were placed in the harder cortical bone beneath the bone bed, with the two anchors spaced approximately 1 cm apart. Together with the suture anchor within the bone bed, they formed a three-point fixation pattern (X-rays: c. Anteroposterior view; d. Lateral view)
