Abstract
Avulsion fractures of the tibial spine (also called “tibial eminence fractures” or “ACL avulsion fractures”), leading to discontinuity of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) fibers, have been well described in the literature in both the pediatric and adult populations. To ensure the stability of the knee joint and good range of motion with minimal to no laxity, surgical reduction of the fracture and fixation are necessary to restore ACL length. Several arthroscopic techniques have been described to reduce and fix these fractures. We describe a technique using 2 anchors to fix the fractured tibial spine with no need to make any tibial tunnels or any extra leg wounds for the sutures.
