  • Title: Arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation of a displaced intraarticular lateral femoral condyle fracture of the knee.
    Author: McCarthy JJ, Parker RD.
    Journal: Arthroscopy; 1996 Apr; 12(2):224-7. PubMed ID: 8777001.
    Abstract:
    Anatomic reduction, typically obtained by direct visualization through an arthrotomy and internal fixation (open reduction and internal fixation), is the traditional treatment method for displaced intraarticular condylar fractures of the distal femur. We present a case report describing an alternative treatment method, namely, arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation, of a displaced, malrotated intraarticular lateral femoral condyle fracture of the knee. The potential benefits of decreased blood loss, shortened operative time, excellent intraarticular visualization, decreased soft tissue dissection, and shortened postoperative recovery are outlined.
