Introduction Tibial spine avulsion fracture is more frequent in children than adults. Various methods of fixation have been mentioned, but concern remains about crossing the tibial physis. We present a technique of arthroscopic fixation with non-absorbable suture. Case Report A total of 10 skeletally immature patients with tibial spine avulsion of Meyers and McKeever Type 2 and 3 were include...

background many different surgical techniques have been described to stabilize the acromion-clavicular (ac) dislocations. so far many of these procedures are performed only in arthroscopy. objectives in this study, we describe a new technique that utilizes the tightrope with a mini-invasive open approach for the acute stabilization of the acromion-clavicular joint (acj) dislocation. patients an...

BACKGROUND Acetabular labral tear is a main cause of hip pain and disability, often requiring surgical treatment. Improvements of hip arthroscopic technique have produced positive outcomes after labral repair with arthroscopy. The purpose of this study was to determine clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction after arthroscopic repair of acetabular labral tear. METHODS We interviewed 21 pat...

Femoral avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in children and adolescents is rare, and its arthroscopic treatment is even more so. A femoral avulsion fracture of the ACL of a 14-year-old girl was arthroscopically reduced and fixed by a Kirschner wire (K-wire) via an inside-out technique. A 1.4-mm K-wire was drilled inside-out into the osseous defect of the lateral femoral co...

A description of a new technique for arthroscopic treatment of minimally displaced greater tuberosity fractures of the humerus and associated soft tissue lesions is presented. This kind of fracture is usually treated nonsurgically. However, recent evidence suggests that even a small amount of superior displacement may produce shoulder dysfunction and require a perfect surgical reduction and fix...

high tibia osteotomy is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery. a precise overview on indications, patients selection, pre-operative planning, surgical technique, methods of fixation, and complications have been presented. this paper focused on the points that should be considered to achieve good long-term outcomes. high tibia osteotomy is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery. a precise o...

We present a case of patellar fracture with avulsion fracture of the tibial posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) attachment; to our knowledge, this is the first report of its kind. Patellar fracture is often accompanied by anterior knee pain, which can make it difficult to perform the draw test and thereby mask the PCL injury. Moreover, cases of avulsion fracture of the tibial PCL attachment are r...
