  • Title: Arthroscopic treatment of an avulsion fracture of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia. Case report.
    Author: Prince AR, Moyer RA.
    Journal: Am J Knee Surg; 1995; 8(3):114-6. PubMed ID: 7552607.
    Abstract:
    Multiple methods exist for reduction and fixation of an intercondylar eminence fracture of the tibia. Modes of treatment are based on the amount of displacement of the fracture. This article describes an arthroscopic technique as an alternative treatment method in a younger patient population. The arthroscopic reduction of the tibial eminence and cast fixations provides no trauma to the physeal plate, and no further operative procedures for hardware removal are required. Associated injuries may be diagnosed and treated at the time of arthroscopy without the need for arthrotomy.
