PCL bony avulsion fracture. He needs surgery to fix back the torn ligament with a fracture . Don't take this pathology lightly as PCL is the strongest ligament of the knee, person with a PCL deficient knee will have trouble doing regular stuff. Share xrays..

The actual problem is the fracture in knee and the ligament attached to this fracture.  It should be operated arthroscopically. Key hole surgery
