Arthroscopic reduction internal fixation for glenoid fractures: a systematic review of the outcomes and complications.

With the advanced arthroscopic technique, arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) is gaining popularity for Glenoid fractures with and without scapular involvement. ARIF offers a complete view of the articular surfaces and diagnoses and treats other associated injuries. ARIF provides less soft tissue trauma than open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). The aim of this systemic review is to look at the functional outcomes and complications of ARIF. A systematic review of the PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases was performed. The search terms included "glenoid fracture" OR "scapula fracture" AND "arthroscopic fixation" OR "arthroscopy" OR "arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation". Studies were limited to English publications with reported functional outcome measures and complications. Patient demographic characteristics, clinical outcomes including range of motion, outcome performance scores including ROWE score, visual analogue scale and American shoulder and elbow surgeons score and complications were extracted. Five studies met the inclusion criteria. The participants ranged in age from 41 to 48, and the mean length of follow-up ranged from 12 to 41months postoperatively. The mean ROWE scores for the ARIF group were significantly better postoperatively. ARIF allows accurate diagnosis of the fracture pattern and associated injuries, in addition to representing a safe option to treat glenoid fractures with or without scapular fractures with fewer complications compared to ORIF. Level of Evidence: Level IV, Systematic review.

Functional and Radiological Outcomes Following Arthroscopic-Assisted Reduction and Fixation of Intra-Articular Distal Radius Fractures

Abstract Background: Intra-articular distal radius fractures (DRFs) are prevalent injuries that are usually difficult to treat and rehabilitate. These injuries may be associated with ligamentous injuries or intra-articular loose fragments. This study aims to assess the functional and radiological results of using arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation, which offers direct visualization of the joint surface, evaluation of intra-articular ligaments, and removal of loose fragments, potentially enhancing recovery outcomes. Patients and Methods: This quasi-experimental interventional study evaluated the functional and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation for intra-articular DRFs. The study included 26 patients who met specific inclusion criteria, and data collection involved preoperative assessment, patient preparation, operative measures, postoperative care, and follow-up evaluations using various scoring systems. Results: The range of motion showed a significant (P < 0.001) improvement over the study duration: flexion increased from 42.81° ± 11.81° at 6 weeks to 54.23° ± 14.95° at 12 months, and extension improved from 56.88° ± 13.28° to 68.38° ± 13.43°. In addition, there was a significant reduction in disability and wrist-related symptoms, as indicated by improvements in the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) scores (6 weeks: 25.80 ± 15.85 vs. 12 months: 5.27 ± 8.61; P < 0.01) and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) scores at the same follow-up intervals (6 weeks: 46.04 ± 22.49 vs. 12 months: 9.54 ± 12.03; P < 0.001). Chronic illness and injuries like triangular fibrocartilage complex tears affected outcomes negatively. Age, ulnar variance, and palmar tilt were significantly correlated with DASH and PRWE scores. Conclusion: Arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation for intra-articular DRFs resulted in favorable outcomes regarding the range of motion, disability, and wrist-related symptoms. Further research and long-term follow-up studies are recommended to validate the positive outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation for intra-articular DRFs, compare it with other surgical approaches, and assess its economic implications.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Fixation of Tibial Spine Fractures

Tibial spine fractures (TSF) are an avulsion injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at the insertion on the tibial plateau. These injuries predominantly affect the pediatric population and are important to treat appropriately as they act similarly to complete ACL injuries. The decision to pursue surgical management is dictated mostly by fracture displacement, but also by various factors such as concomitant injuries, age and level of activity. Multiple fixation strategies are available, ranging from transosseous suture and suture anchors to the use of screws, staples or absorbable nails.This technique paper describes the author's preferred technique involving an arthroscopic assisted reduction of the tibial spine fracture and transosseous suture fixation. High tensile non-absorbable sutures are passed through the base of the ACL which are then passed through two 2.4mm transosseous tunnels tied over a bone bridge on the anterior medial tibia.An arthroscopic approach has been reported to have similar positive outcomes when compared to open reductions. Furthermore, the transosseous suture construct has been described to be advantageous biomechanically and to yield satisfactory results when compared to alternative fixation options.

Technique for Minimally Invasive, Arthroscopic-assisted Distal Radius Fracture Fixation.

Distal radius fractures are common injuries that often require surgical intervention. Commonly, these fractures are fixed using open reduction internal fixation with plating and screws. This often requires a more extensive soft tissue dissection and exposure. In contrast for certain cases, percutaneous headless compression screws may be appropriate. We present a technique for minimally invasive arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous screw fixation with an extremity traction device. A case is provided to demonstrate the technique as a viable option for the treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures.

Arthroscopy strategy to obtain surgical access to peripheral lateral tibial plateau for arthroscopic assisted reduction & internal fixation of fractures

Current standard of open surgical approach for lateral tibial plateau fractures is lateral submeniscal arthrotomy for obtaining visual and instrumentation access to peripheral meniscus covered part where fractures are often located. Anterior parapatellar arthrotomy is used less often as it is associated with soft tissue complications and provides access to only central uncovered part. Lateral submeniscal arthrotomy achieves necessary access by surgical division of meniscotibial attachments and superior retraction of thus detached meniscus. Arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation (ARIF), with its portals placed anteriorly obtains efficient viewing as well as instrumentation access to central part but; only tangential viewing access to peripheral concealed part of joint surface in mid-lateral and posterior part and none at all in anterior and anterolateral part. Further, considering meniscotibial attachment of meniscus remains intact in ARIF, manoeuvrability of instruments in narrow submeniscal space even in posterior and mid-lateral area is severely constrained. ARIF as it is practiced now, therefore remains merely a monitoring and evaluation tool at least in peripheral meniscus concealed area. Direct elevation of depressed articular fragment often undertaken in ORIF by submeniscal arthrotomy, remains therefore unexploited in ARIF. This article describes a strategy to achieve arthroscopically; visual and instrumentation access similar to open submeniscal arthrotomy to conduct interventions equivalent to those carried out in ORIF.

Dorsal Radiocarpal Dislocation with Radial Styloid Fracture Treated with Arthroscopy-Assisted Reduction and Internal Fixation: A Report of Two Cases.

Radiocarpal dislocation is an uncommon injury that is usually caused by high-energy trauma. Herein, we present two cases of dorsal radiocarpal dislocation with radial styloid fractures that were treated by arthroscopy-assisted reduction and internal fixation. Wrist arthroscopy provides accurate information on intra-articular fractures and carpal and/or intracarpal ligamentous tears of the radiocarpal joint. Furthermore, the procedure enables simultaneous anatomical reduction of intra-articular fractures and radiocarpal and/or intercarpal ligament repair. Arthroscopy-assisted reduction and internal fixation yield satisfactory outcomes for patients presenting with dorsal radiocarpal dislocation and radial styloid fractures.

Tibial Spine Avulsion Fracture Fixation Using a Re-tensionable All-Suture Construct

Tibial spine avulsion injuries, including fractures, are a variant of anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Treatment historically consisted of open reduction and internal fixation of the avulsion fracture, with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction considered in cases of failed open reduction and internal fixation or residual laxity. However, improved instrumentation has led to the advancement of various arthroscopic techniques for addressing these injuries. The emergence of newer implants designed for all-suture fixation has also overcome the limitations associated with screw fixation, such as hardware-related complications, challenges in treating comminuted fractures, and potential physeal injury. The purpose of this article is to describe a technique consisting of arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation of a tibial spine avulsion fracture with a re-tensionable all-suture–based construct using multiple looped cinch stitches and a cortical suspensory suture button device.

Arthroscopic Assisted Reduction of Talus Fractures Leads to Improved Clinical Outcomes at Mid- Term Follow-Up

Introduction/Purpose: Talus fracture is an uncommon and challenging pathology to treat due to its relationship with articular cartilage, ligamentous network, and avascular nature. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical outcomes after arthroscopic talar fracture fixation, compare to conventional open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and analyze the quality and level of evidence of the included studies. Methods: A systematic review of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines in June 2023. Articles were included if they evaluated outcomes following arthroscopic treatment of talus fractures, were written in English, were peer-reviewed, had a minimum of 2 patients per cohort, had human patients, and had a minimum 6-month follow-up. Inclusion criteria consisted of: Studies reporting clinical data following arthroscopy for the treatment of talus fractures were included and assessed. Results: Seven studies were analyzed, including 4 case series, 1 retrospective cohort, and 2 retrospective comparative studies. 237 patients treated with arthroscopic assisted reduction were compared to 76 patients treated with ORIF. Amongst arthroscopically treated patients, the AOFAS score improved from 71.2 ± 5.2 preoperatively to 89.9 ± 4.3 postoperatively. The SF-36 score improved from 73.2 ± 30.3 preoperatively to 104.5 ± 19.3 postoperatively. In total, 6 complications (3.0%) were observed in arthroscopically treated patients, of which the most common was peri-talar osteoarthritis in 2 patients (0.84%). In comparative cohorts, ORIF patients experienced a 13.0% complication rate in 6 patients (talar necrosis, malunion, nonunion, infection, and post-traumatic arthritis), compared to 2.2% in 1 patient (malunion) in the arthroscopic cohort. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that arthroscopic assisted reduction of talar fractures results in good clinical outcomes with lower complication rates. This minimally invasive approach had lower complications than ORIF, with no cases of talar necrosis and decreased postoperative traumatic arthritis. This technique provides adequate exposure without additional osteotomy, while decreasing trauma to local anatomical trauma, minimizing the risk of postoperative complications, and improving fracture healing assessment of concomitant lesions. These findings indicate arthroscopic treatment of talus fractures is an efficacious and safe procedure with comparable or improved clinical and postoperative outcomes as compared to conventional ORIF.

The Clinicoradiological Outcome of Arthroscopic-assisted Reduction and Internal Fixation of Tibial Plateau Fractures

Abstract Background: The fractures of the tibial plateau are intraarticular fractures accounting for 1% of all fractures. Surgical management of such fractures is often challenging because they require anatomical reduction and stable fixation, which will allow for early rehabilitation. Arthroscopy has evolved nowadays and arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation is a good option among the available surgical options. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 50 cases of tibial plateau fractures managed surgically by arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation starting from August 2019 to December 2022. Results: The patients were 39 years old on average and were mostly men (58%). The right knee was the most usually injured (53%), and the most common cause of injury (41.5%) was a fall from a height. The majority of these fractures (44.5%) belonged to Schatzker type 2, followed by type 1 (37%) and type 3 (18.5%). The average time to complete weight-bearing for a Schatzker type I fracture was 10 weeks, 11.5 weeks for a type II fracture, and 13.5 weeks for a type III fracture. The average time to union for Schatzker type I was 13 weeks, 15.5 weeks for type II, and 16 weeks for type III. The mean clinical and radiological scores using the modified Rasmussen criteria were 26.3 and 7.3, respectively. Conclusions: A good surgical outcome of tibial plateau fracture is acquired when anatomic articular surface reconstruction with the elevation of depressed bone fragment is combined with rigid stable fixation, which permits early rehabilitation. Arthroscopy helps in achieving these goals by providing a good visualization of the articular surfaces, adequate fracture reduction, and anatomical restoration of the joint surface and aids in thorough joint lavage to remove the intraarticular debris.

Percutaneous elevation of proximal tibia depressed fractures using modified new instrument

Proximal tibia depression fracture often occur isolated or in conjunction with complex fracture presentations and elevation of such depression is required to retard arthritis in long term. Conventional open reduction by sub meniscal approach has many percutaneous alternatives from arthroscopy assisted reduction to balloon tibioplasty. Few authors even reported usage of PCL jig and percutaneous pins to elevate, while the primary author has previously described an instrument to elevate the depressed fragment percutaneously. With the shortcomings of the same instrument, authors have designed modifications in the same to address anterior and posterior extensions of depression without widening the metaphyseal window. In this article, we describe the size and concept of the modified design and its efficacy to address depression injuries.

Surgical outcomes and complication rates of arthroscopic-assisted fixation versus open fixation for coronoid fractures: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background Coronoid fractures often occur with complex elbow dislocations, accounting for 15% of elbow fractures. The effectiveness of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) versus arthroscopic-assisted reduction internal fixation (ARIF) surgeries for coronoid fractures remains uncertain. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of these two surgical approaches in treating varus posteromedial injuries. Methods This study was conducted and reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO. The primary outcomes assessed in this study were the functional outcomes measured by the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) and the complications associated with each surgical approach. Results Analysis of the data from 759 patients included in this study revealed that the mean postoperative MEPS score was higher in the ARIF group compared to the ORIF group (97.5 Vs. 90.7), with the mean improvement in MEPS was 16.6 points (19 for ORIF and 14.3 for ARIF). The complication rate in the ORIF group was 24.6%, while the ARIF group reported a complication rate of 6%. Conclusion This study suggests that ARIF surgery can yield comparable and promising outcomes to ORIF surgery for coronoid fractures. Level of evidence IV

FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF FIXATION OF TIBIA SCHATZKER TYPE II AND TYPE III FRACTURES UNDER ARTHROSCOPIC GUIDANCE

The tibial plateau fracture is a common type of orthopaedic fracture. An alternative to open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation, which provides direct visualisation of the articular surface of the plateau, evaluation of the reduction of the articular surface, and management of any intra-articular pathology that may be associated with the reduction of the articular surface. This study aimed to determine the functional outcome of patients who received tibial fixation under arthroscopic supervision for Schatzker's Type II and III tibial fractures. The research was conducted over six months in the Orthopaedic Surgical Department at Jinnah Hospital in Lahore from November 17, 2022, to May 17, 2023. Sixty patients met the inclusion criteria were recruited after obtaining written informed permission. A clinical and historical examination of each patient's knees was conducted, followed by arthroscopy-guided internal reduction and repair of the tibial fracture under general anaesthesia. All patients received a post-operative rehabilitation regimen. At the three-month follow-up, standing AP radiographs were taken to examine the general alignment of the limbs, and Rasmussen score results were recorded. The average age of the patients was 46 years, and 63.3% were men and 36.7% were women. Schatzker grades II and III tibial plateau fractures were present in 53.3% and 46.7% of the patients, respectively. The mean Rasmussen clinical score was 27.33, indicating that 50 out of 60 patients had excellent recovery, nine out of 60 patients had good recovery, and one out of 60 patients had fair recovery. The mean Rasmussen radiological score was 7.36, indicating that 48 out of 60 patients had outstanding recovery, 11 out of 60 patients had good recovery, and one out of 60 patients had fair recovery. In conclusion, arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation is a good technique for treating young patients with Schatzker grades II-III tibial plateau fractures, and it enables control of co-existing injuries of intra-articular soft tissues, leading to faster recovery and greater patient satisfaction. However, having expertise in trauma and arthroscopic methods is important to carry out the procedure correctly.

Capitellum Fracture: Surgical Exposure and Fixation Strategies

Fractures of the capitellum are uncommon, often accompanied by radial head or lateral collateral ligament injuries, and typically treated operatively. Operative fixation is often technically challenging due to limited surgical windows, limited bone stock for fixation, its articular nature, and fracture extension into the trochlea or condyles. The goal of treatment is stable internal fixation to permit an early range of motion. Aside from open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), alternative treatment options include fragment excision and arthroscopic assisted reduction and fixation. Here we detail our preferred approach to treat capitellum fractures, including, preoperative planning, surgical anatomy, surgical setup and technique utilizing a posterior utility incision and olecranon osteotomy, postoperative care, and avoidance of potential complications.

Arthroscopic-assisted Distal Radius Fracture Fixation for Dorsoulnar Corner Fragments Using a Locked, Hooked Kirschner-Wire Technique

Abstract Background: Distal radius fractures with dorso-ulnar corner fragments (DUC) pose a surgical challenge due to limited visualization and the risk of hardware prominence. Traditional approaches often result in inadequate reduction and fixation, leading to suboptimal clinical outcomes. Description of Technique: In this study, we introduce an arthroscopic-assisted approach for the fixation of distal radius fractures with DUC fragments. The technique utilizes locked, hooked K-wires to provide a low-profile dorsal capturing mechanism. We outline the step-by-step procedure, which includes pre-operative planning, volar plate application, and arthroscopic reduction of DUC fragments. Patients and Methods: We applied this technique to a 60-year-old female patient with an unstable intra-articular distal radius fracture and a DUC fragment. Closed reduction was initially attempted, followed by arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation using the locked, hooked K-wire technique. Results: Our technique has demonstrated its ability to withstand early movement rehabilitation protocols without fixation loss, enabling early mobilization. A custom thermoplastic splint was worn for 6 weeks, with favorable supination/pronation and wrist flexion/extension outcomes at clinical review. Conclusions: Arthroscopic-assisted fixation with locked, hooked K-wires offers a reliable solution for accurately reducing challenging DUC fragments in distal radius fractures. This approach complements standard distal radius fixation systems, providing a low-profile dorsal capturing mechanism and addressing the issue of hardware prominence, ultimately improving clinical outcomes.

A novel technique for treating simple transverse patellar fractures using cannulated screws: a cadaveric and clinical study

BackgroundTension band wiring (TBW) has conventionally been used for the open reduction and internal fixation of the patella. However, it suffers from distinct disadvantages such as large incision, implant irritation, and need for subsequent implant removal. Here, we propose a novel technique using closed reduction and percutaneous fixation with three cannulated screws (TCS), which may be an alternative to this established conventional technique. Although some researchers have proposed alternative methods including closed reduction and cannulated screw fixation, with or without additional wires through the screws, and arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation, there are few studies that focus on the biomechanical stability of percutaneous fixation using only cannulated screws. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate TCS versus TBW for simple transverse patellar fractures in cadaveric and patients' level, aiming to determine whether TCS show superiority over TBW in terms of biomechanical stability in a cadaveric study with benign clinical feasibility and outcomes in patients.MethodsWe conducted a cadaveric study with 15 knee specimens that had simple transverse patellar fractures. We used two fixation techniques: TBW (group A, n = 6) and TCS (group B, n = 9). We applied sinusoidal forces (25 N–125 N) at 1/5 Hz and 90° knee flexion to simulate knee movement. We compared the displacements at the fracture site between the two groups. We also used the same technique in a total of 23 patients and followed up them for at least 1 year.ResultsTCS demonstrated favourable biomechanical stability in the cadaveric study. The technique also performed excellently in terms of postoperative pain, knee function recovery, and complication rates during the follow-up period.ConclusionsThe technique provides a surgical treatment option with small incisions, minimal soft tissue irritation, and possibly lower removal rate of bothersome material.

All-Arthroscopic Management of Locked Posterior Shoulder Dislocation: Reduction Under Direct Visualization and Treatment of Intra-articular Pathologies

Locked posterior shoulder dislocation (LPSD) is a rare condition often overlooked. In most cases, the humeral head remains stuck behind the glenoid, causing an impression fracture in 40% to 90% of LPSD cases, known as a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. The condition also affects the posterior capsulolabral complex and leads to the formation of scar tissue under the coracoid and subscapularis tendon, making it challenging to reduce without surgery. Although open treatment has been successful, it does not address the posterior capsulolabral complex. Arthroscopic-assisted reduction provides a more detailed view and better exposure to the posterior structures. This article details a reproducible arthroscopic surgical technique for treating the locked dislocation and all intra-articular pathology in a single-stage procedure for patients with less than 25% reverse Hill-Sachs bone loss.

Arthroscopy-assisted reduction and simultaneous robotic-assisted screw placement in the treatment of fractures of the posterior talar process.

A fracture of the posterior talar process is easily missed because of its hidden position. Inappropriate treatment is likely to result in complications, such as nonunion of the fracture and traumatic arthritis. This study evaluated the outcomes of arthroscopy-assisted reduction combined with robotic-assisted screw placement in the treatment of fractures of the posterior talar process. The clinical data for nine patients who underwent surgical treatment of a fracture of the posterior talar process at our institution between September 2017 and January 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Arthroscopy-assisted reduction of the fracture was performed, and a cannulated screw was placed using three-dimensional orthopedic robotic-assisted navigation. The patients (seven men, two women) had a mean age of 36.33 ± 9.77years and were followed up for 21 ± 5.43months. The operation time was 106.67 ± 24.5min with blood loss of 47.78 ± 9.05ml. Primary healing was obtained in all cases, and no patient sustained a nerve or tendon injury, had fracture nonunion, or developed talar osteonecrosis. One patient developed subtalar arthritis, for which subtalar joint fusion was performed; pain was markedly less severe after cleaning. Arthroscopy-assisted reduction and robotic-assisted screw placement have the advantages of visualization of fracture reduction, minimal injury, and precise screw placement in the treatment of fractures of the posterior talar process.

Arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation for complex tibial plateau fracture: radiographic and clinical outcomes with 2- to 15-year follow-up

BackgroundTo investigate the radiologic and prognostic outcomes after using arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) in complex tibial plateau fractures with mid- to long-term follow-up.MethodsThis retrospective study reviewed complex tibial plateau fractures that underwent ARIF from 1999 to 2019. Radiologic outcomes, including tibial plateau angle (TPA), posterior slope angle (PSA), Kellgren–Lawrence classification and Rasmussen radiologic assessment, were measured and evaluated. The prognosis and complications were assessed by the Rasmussen clinical assessment with a minimum follow-up of 2 years.ResultsNinety-two consecutive patients (mean age: 46.9 years) with a mean follow-up of 74.8 months (24–180) were included in our series. Using AO classification, there were 20 type C1 fractures, 21 type C2 fractures, and 51 type C3 fractures. All the fractures achieved solid union. TPA was maintained well on average at the last follow-up and showed no significant difference compared to postoperatively (p = 0.208). In the sagittal plane, the mean PSA increased from 9.3 ± 2.9° to 9.6 ± 3.1° (p = 0.092). A statistically significant increase in PSA was also noted in the C3 group (p = 0.044). Superficial or deep infection was noted in 4 cases (4.3%), and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was performed in 2 cases (2.2%) due to grade 4 osteoarthritis (OA). Ninety (97.8%) and 89 (96.7%) patients had good or excellent results in the Rasmussen radiologic assessment and Rasmussen clinical assessment, respectively.ConclusionsThe complex tibial plateau fracture could be treated successfully using arthroscopy-assisted reduction and internal fixation. Most patients achieve excellent and good clinical outcomes with low complication rates. In our experience, a higher incidence of increased slope was noted, especially in type C3 fractures. Reduction of the posterior fragment should be done cautiously during the operation.Levels of evidenceLevel III.

Arthroscopic Assisted Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Spine Avulsion Reduction and Cortical Button Fixation

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.
