Follow-up Study of Arthroscopic Reduction and Fixation of Type III Tibial-Eminence Fractures

Summary: Nine children (average age, 13.1 years) with 10 displaced type III tibial-eminence fractures were reviewed with an average follow-up of 3.5 years. The fractures were treated with arthroscope-assisted reduction and suture fixation.

At follow-up, subjective knee function was excellent in all cases, and no …
