    The novel 3DCT-based classification system for PCL tibial avulsion fractures offers improved accuracy over the traditional MM classification.

  • 2

    This new classification considers fracture displacement, line numbers, and involvement regions, enhancing treatment strategy formulation.

  • 3

    Intra-rater reliability for the 3DCT classification showed perfect agreement, surpassing the substantial agreement of the MM classification.

  • 4

    Approximately 22.6% of non-displaced and some type II and III fractures showed differing characteristics when assessed via 3DCT.

  • 5

    The 3DCT-based classification reduces misdiagnosis risks and provides valuable guidance for preoperative planning and treatment selection.
