N2  - CASE: A 25-year-old man presented with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion and ipsilateral fracture of the femoral head after sustaining a dashboard injury. The hip was not dislocated on presentation, and there were no other injuries; he was managed operatively for both. His hip and knee healed well, with good functioning at 15 months of follow-up. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Dashboard injuries can cause simultaneous knee and hip injuries, usually PCL and posterior hip dislocation. This case report identifies a specific pattern of tibial avulsion fracture of the PCL combined with femoral head fracture with no dislocation at presentation. The good outcome achieved at 15 months indicates that standard treatment of open reduction and internal fixation for both fractures can provide good clinical results in this severe combination injury pattern.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
