Objective: To report functional outcome in Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation through Burks and Schaffer approach. The patient specific functional outcome measures like IKDC grading together with objective grading with stress radiographs have rarely been used - to assess PCL tibial avulsion fractures.Material and Methods: Twenty seven patients (21 males and 6 females) were included in the study. The mean follow up duration was 22.30 +/- 6.82 months. They were assessed using international knee documentation committee (IKDC) grades, Lysholm scoring and stress radiography. The injury severity scores (ISS) of the patients were also recorded.Results: The mean Lysholm scores at the time of last follow up was 90.85 +/- 5.58. The IKDC grades achieved were normal in 20 patients, near normal in five and abnormal in two. The PCL laxity determined on active hamstring contraction stress radiography was grade I in 20 cases and grade II in seven cases. All patients had achieved bony union of tibial avulsion fractures at the time of last follow up. Statistically significant association was found between higher ISS and lower Lysholm scores. (t=3.455, p=0.0019). Good IKDC grades were associated with higher Lysholm scores (analysis of variance, F=32.51, p
