Kang, Kim, and Ko: Treatment Using Arthroscopic Reduction and Fixation in Tibial Intercondylar Eminence Fracture

Abstract

Meyers and Mckeever proposed a classification of intercondylar eminence fractures based on the degree of displacement. Zaricznyj added type IV comminuted avulsion fracture. Type III and IV of tibial spine fractures are considered an indication for surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the result of arthroscopic treatment for displaced intercondylar eminence fractures. In all of the cases, the displaced fragments were reduced arthroscopically in effective, and fixed by K-wires, pull-out sutures or pull out wiring. At last follow-up above 12 months, all 22 cases(100%) were evaluated as above good by Meyers and Mckeever criteria.
