Treatment of type III tibial intercondylar eminence fractures in skeletally immature athletes.

Abstract

Our retrospective study of 12 skeletally immature athletes with type III intercondylar eminence fractures showed that arthroscopic evaluation with mini-open arthrotomy and repair of the tibial intercondylar eminence fracture with absorbable suture can be successful in repairing anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures and in helping such patients return to their athletic endeavors.
