Arthroscopic Fixation of Tibial Spine Avulsion Fracture in Open Physis
نویسنده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Arthroscopic fixation of tibial spine fracture in patients with open physis without damaging the growth plate is very important. We have described a very simple and effective technique for the first time in this article. CASE REPORT A 16-year-old boy sustained avulsion fractures of tibial spine while playing. He was treated arthroscopically with excellent results. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic fixation of tibial spine fracture in patients with open physis with two cannulated screws perpendicular to each other is a very simple technique providing strong construct, and allowing early mobilization without risk of damage to the growth plate.

متن کاملArthroscopic Fixation of Tibial Spine Avulsion in Skeletally Immature: The Technique
Introduction Tibial spine avulsion fracture is more frequent in children than adults. Various methods of fixation have been mentioned, but concern remains about crossing the tibial physis. We present a technique of arthroscopic fixation with non-absorbable suture. Case Report A total of 10 skeletally immature patients with tibial spine avulsion of Meyers and McKeever Type 2 and 3 were include...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the results of Posteromedial (PM) open reduction internal fixation versus arthroscopic reduction and adjustable loop fixation of displaced Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fractures, regarding healing, degree of posterior stability, Range of Motion (ROM), level of activity, complications and diagnosis of associated injuries. Hyp...
متن کاملOutcomes and second-look arthroscopic evaluation after combined arthroscopic treatment of tibial plateau and tibial eminence avulsion fractures: a 5-year minimal follow-up
BACKGROUND Tibial eminence avulsion fracture often co-occurs with tibial plateau fracture, which leads to difficult concomitant management. The value of simultaneous arthroscopy-assisted treatment continues to be debated despite its theoretical advantages. We describe a simple arthroscopic suture fixation technique and hypothesize that simultaneous treatment is beneficial. METHODS Patients wi...
متن کاملNonunion after avulsion fracture of the anterior tibial spine
Nonunion of an avulsion fracture of the anterior tibial spine is quite rare. It could be associated with significant instability of the knee as it involves the fixation of the anterior cruciate ligament. Some of the complications of this nonunion include pain in knee extension, loss of knee extension and a certain amount of anterior knee instability. So, loss of knee extension is often a direct...
