Abstract:
Arthroscopic or open surgical treatment is indicated for displaced tibial spine fractures to obtain anatomic reduction and restore the functionality of the anterior cruciate ligament. Numerous open and arthroscopic techniques for the treatment of tibial spine fractures have been described. The purpose of this technical note is to describe a minimally invasive arthroscopic physeal- and ligament-sparing surgical technique using knotless all-suture anchors to provide stable bridge fixation over displaced tibial spine fractures.
