Arthroscopic transpatellar cannulated screw fixation of tibia eminence fractures in the adult.

摘要

Fracture of the tibial in-tercondylar eminence involves avulsion of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) from its tibial attachment along with the bony tibial eminence fragment. Fractures of the tibial intercondylar eminence were classified into 3 types by Meyers and McKeever: type I, minimal or nondisplaced; type II, partially displaced or hinged fracture; and type III, completely displaced. Surgical treatment is currently recommended for type II and III displaced frac- > tures because they may result in nonunion, malunion, or loss of knee extension
