RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the outcomes of arthroscopic treatment of anterior cruciate ligament tibial eminence avul-sion fractures by using loop ligature fixation .Methods 26 patients with anterior cruciate ligament tibial eminence avulsion frac-tures .All the patients were fellowed up at least one year .Results The X-ray indicated that all the avulsion fractures of tibial anteri-or eminence were healed after 6 months of the operation .The mean Lysholm score improved from (50 .8 ± 6 .5) preoperatively to (92 .7 ± 4 .3)postoperatively(t=36 .7 ,P<0 .05) .The mean IKDC 2000 subject score improved from (55 .6 ± 7 .4)preoperatively to (90 .7 ± 4 .2) postoperatively(t=22 .5 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion Arthroscopic treatment of anterior cruciate ligament tibial eminence avulsion fractures by using loop ligature fixation could provide satisfying reduction ,stable fixation and well healing of the avulsed fragment .This arthroscopic suture fixation method is a minimally invasive ,simple and effective treatment for patients with tibial eminence fracture .
