What is Clinical Outcome of Arthroscopic Suture Versus Screw Fixation in Tibial Avulsion of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament in Skeletally Mature Patients about?

Background Tibial eminence fracture is an intra-articular fracture of bony attachment of ACL. The displaced fragment could hinder the mobility of the knee and may lead joint instabilty; therefore, requires fixation. Arthroscopic suture and screw fixation are the widely used surgical modalities for eminence fractures of the tibia. Past studies have not yet depicted the superiority of one method over the other. Through this cohort study, comparison of the clinical and functional outcomes of these two surgical methods was done. Methods A prospective, randomized, interventional study was conducted from December 2019 to January 2022 for comparing the clinical outcome of arthroscopic pull through suture fixation and arthroscopic antegrade cancellous screw fixation in skeletally mature individuals. Ninety patients (45 in each group) were randomly assigned and treated with the above two methods. A comprehensive clinical analysis was done after nine months of surgery for assessment of functional outcome, ligament laxity, range of motion, and complications if any. Results 65.55% of anterior tibial eminence fractures were caused by road traffic accidents followed by sports injuries (28.88%).
