ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate effect of modified arthroscopic pull-out suture technique which used number 5-nonabsorbable suture material for tibia intercondylar eminence comminuted fractures. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
There were 21 cases of tibia intercondylar emimence fracture which arthroscopic treated at our hospital between 1999 and 2004. However the study population only included 12 cases in which a number 5-nonabsorbable suture material (Ethibond No. 5) was used for tibia intercondylar eminence comminuted fractures and minimum 1-year follow-up has gone. The average follow-up period was 18.5 months (range, 12 to 42 months). Lachman test and KT-2000 athrometer test were evaluated at the pre-and post-operation. Clinical results of all patients were evaluated with the Meyers and Mckeever 's criteria.RESULTS:
In all 12 cases, the normal range of motion and sports activities were recovered at the final follow-up. When tested for anterior instability with KT-2000 arthrometer, there were no different between normal knee and operated knee. Clinical results by Meyers and Mckeever's criteria were excellent in 10 patients and good in 2 patients.CONCLUSION:
We obtained early mobilization and stable fixation in modified arthroscopic pullout suture technique for tibia intercondylar eminence comminuted fractures. Patients can early return to his job. This technique seems to be one of the effective operative techniques for treatment of tibia intercondylar eminence comminuted fractures.
