Clinical outcome of arthroscopic fixation of anterior tibial eminence avulsion fractures in skeletally mature patients

Abstract

Significant better IKDC objective evaluation, lower glide pivot shift phenomenon, and shorter operating time requirement in screw fixation group with respect to suture fixation group were shown in our study although the other functional knee scores (Lysholm score, Tegner activity level, and the IKDC subjective score) and KT-1000 manual side-to-side difference only revealed a trend with better clinical results in screw fixation group than in suture fixation group rather than significant difference.
