Fibular head avulsion fractures are rare injuries that often reflect significant trauma to the posterolateral corner of the knee. This case report presents two adult patients with avulsion fractures of the fibular head, both involving lateral collateral ligament damage. The first case involved bilateral knee trauma after a motor vehicle accident, while the second resulted from a sports-related injury. Diagnosis was confirmed via imaging, including identification of the "arcuate sign" on radiographs and 3D CT scans. Surgical management through direct screw fixation was performed in both cases, followed by structured rehabilitation. At one-year follow-up, both patients showed complete recovery with restored knee stability and full range of motion. This report highlights the importance of early recognition and comprehensive treatment to prevent long-term posterolateral instability and functional impairment.
