Arthroscopic Absorbable Suture Fixation for Tibial Spine Fractures

Abstract: The purpose of this technical note and accompanying video is to describe a modified arthroscopic suture fixation technique to treat tibial spine avulsion fractures. Twenty-one patients underwent arthroscopic treatment for tibial spine avulsion with our technique; they were clinically and biomechanically evaluated at 2 years' follow-up and showed optimal clinical and radiographic outcomes. Repair with this arthroscopic technique provides a significant advantage in the treatment of type III and IV fractures of t… Show more

“…16 These include both traditional and headless screws, [58][59][60] cannulated screws, 54,61 or Kirschner wires (Kwires). 18,62 Suture-based techniques are also popular and include absorbable suture, [63][64][65] nonabsorbable suture, 14,19,20,53,[66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75] suture anchors, 74,76,77 suture bridge and cortical button constructs, [78][79][80] lasso, 81 and meniscus arrow. 82 Those who prefer metal screws report reliability and procedural simplicity.…”

“…The arthroscopic suture fixation has been recently the most common method with various improvements being developed [16]. Thus, there is a whole range of works reporting excellent and good results with high functional scores obtained using suture fixation [17,27]. Ahn and Yoo report a Lysholm score of 95.6 [18], Song et al indicate a 89.5 score [19], while Jadhav and Gotecha report a high of 98.6 [21].…”

“…They are known for encouraging results [7,8,[10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]], but they are not without certain drawbacks. Currently, arthroscopic suture fixation with fiber wires is the most common technique [[16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21]]. However, there are concerns about potential postoperative complications.…”

“…5 This repair has been previously described using open and arthroscopic approaches, with the latter having a decreased risk of soft tissue complications and postoperative pain. 9,10 The avulsion fracture is repaired to the tibia using a variety of methods including the use of screws, button systems, anchors, and sutures.…”
