Abstract:
Objective To review an arthroscopic technique using suture fixation for repair of the tibial eminence fractures.Methods A review of 33 patiernts with 11 Meyers and McKeever type Ⅱ,19Ⅲand 3 Ⅳ fractures of the tibial eminence treated with arthroscopic suture fixation were conducted.Results Mean follow-up time was 7 months(range,6 to 12 months).At follow-up evaluation,the range of motion retum to their previous normal levels(rang,0°to 130°).All patients underwent X-ray examination that confirmed the fracture have been healed in 2 months except 2 cases, and pulled out fixation in 12 months.Conclusion The technique of arthroscopic internal fixation of avulsed tibial eminence fractures in 33 cases is very useful in dealing with the fractures in simple fixation,minimal trauma,quick recovery.
