Abstract

Introduction: ACL tibial avulsion fracture is one of the most common knee injury. There are many classical procedures to be available for fixation ACL tibial avulsion fracture. Nowaday, arthroscopic suture fixation for ACL tibial avulsion fracture has many advantages and limits complications effecting knee joint.


Purpose: To evaluate long-term outcomes of arthroscopic transosseous suture fixation for anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture.


Materials and methods: Fifty six patients with ACL tibial avulsion fracture (types II, III, IV), mean age of 32.6 years (range from 21 to 48 years) were prospectively followed up after arthroscopic transosseous suture fixation for anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion. Along with clinical examination, radiographs, Lysholm score, IKDC classification were used to evaluate the patients. Anteroposterior knee laxity was measured with a KT- 1000.


Result: Patients were followed up for a mean of 16.76 months (range, 12 to 22 months). At final follow-up, the mean Lysholm score was 91.3 (range, 83 to 100). 54 patients (96.4%) were classified by IKDC score as normal or nearly normal (grade A or B). The IKDC classification was abnormal (grade C) in 2 patients (3.6%). Anterior translation of the tibia, measured with the KT- 1000, was 1.57 mm on average (range, 0.5 to 6.5 mm) compared to the healthy side. All 56 fractures achieved union on radiography


Conclusion: Treating ACL avulsion fracture with transosseous arthroscopic suture fixation can stabilize fragments, promote early motion.
