Arthroscopic Suture-to-Adjustable Loop Fixation of Adult Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fracture.

ABSTRACT: Adult tibial avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) occurs not as frequently as ACL tear but still is concerning. There are many methods of arthroscopic fixation of this special fracture. However, a simple and effective method is still being pursued. We would like to introduce an arthroscopic suture-to-adjustable loop fixation technique, which features are a reduction of lateral displacement of the fragment by special suture configuration and tensioning, and a final reduction of residual displacement by tensioning the adjustable loop. We consider the introduction of this technique will provide additional choice in the treatment of adult ACL tibial avulsion fracture.
