Tibial eminence avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament fixed with arthroscopic double-steel wire clip / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Conventional surgical repair can cause large traumas in patients with knee injuries, and patients often recover slowly after implant fixation, most of whom can appear to have poor recovery of knee function. OBJECTIVE: To explore the folow-up effect of arthroscopic double-steel wire clip fixation on tibial eminence avulsion fracture of anterior cruciate ligament. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 23 patients with tibial eminence avulsion fractures, who were given arthroscopic double-steel wire clip fixation. The patients were folowed up for 1-6 months. Short- and middle-term therapeutic effect as wel as IKDC and Lysholm scores before and after treatment were observed and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The operation time was 35-65 minutes, and no complications, such as blood, nerve and anterior cruciate ligament injuries occurred. Moreover, no infection and other poor biocompatible reactions occurred after internation fixation. Al patients were folowed up for 1-6 months. The excelent and good rate was 87% at 1 month after treatment and 96% at 6 months after treatment. Al the patients had improved IKDC score and Lysholm score after treatment (P < 0.05), indicating that the knee function of patients was improved significantly.
