Arthroscopic Assisted Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Spine Avulsion Reduction and Cortical Button Fixation.
Arthroscopy Techniques 2023 July
Tibial spine avulsion fractures, or tibial eminence fractures, are intra-articular knee injuries that affect the bony attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It is commonly seen in children and adolescents aged 8 to 15 years old and can be caused by noncontact pivot shift injuries or by traumatic hyperextension knee injuries, as seen in adult ACL patients. A thorough history and physical exam is important in these patients alongside proper imaging that will confirm the diagnosis of a tibial spine avulsion. Proper imaging may also demonstrate other associated conditions or injuries to the cartilage, meniscus, or ligamentous structures. Following diagnosis, treatment can be both nonoperative versus operative, depending upon the degree of displacement and reducibility of the fragment, as well as other concomitant injuries. For nondisplaced or minimally displaced, and reducible injuries, the patient can be immobilized in full extension for several weeks. For displaced fragments that are unable to be reduced by closed methods, open reduction internal fixation or arthroscopic fixation is recommended. In this Technical Note, we describe an arthroscopy-assisted reduction and internal fixation with suture tape through 2 transtibial tunnels with a cortical suture button fixation technique.
