Posterior cruciate ligament rupture is a rare knee ligamentous injury in skeletally immature patients with unfused growth plates. Despite being very uncommon, it still represents a significant challenge in terms of decision-making and treatment choice. The purpose of this case series was to report subject and objective outcomes (IKDC, TAS,LYSHOLM,KT2000) after PCL reconstruction in two teenage elite football players aged 15 and 16 respectively, who underwent surgical repair in July 2017 using for the femoral and tibial fixation of the PCL graft (hamstring tendons) respectively a curve cross-pin system and interferential screw. At fifteen months follow up, both athletes had returned to normal, pre-injury, competing levels with no leg discrepancy.
