  • Title: [Arthroscopically assisted refixation for avulsion fracture of the intercondylar eminence with Fiber-Wire cerclage].
    Author: Schlummer T, Klingelhöfer J, Fortmeier B, Giebel G.
    Journal: Unfallchirurg; 2004 Jun; 107(6):525-31. PubMed ID: 15060774.
    Abstract:
    Avulsion fracture of the intercondylar eminence is a rare knee injury. It is found either isolated or connected to other bone or intra-articular injuries. Arthroscopically assisted treatment is nowadays the most common procedure. The refixation of the fragment is technically sophisticated and usually requires a longer period of immobilization. In two patients we used a suture cerclage with extreme tensile strength (Fiber-Wire, Arthrex Inc.) placed through a tibial guide. Using this procedure we combined the advantages of easy implantation, sufficient retention, and thereby the possibility of forced follow-up treatment. The present results are promising.
