Abstract
|
|
|
|
An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) avulsion fracture of the tibial spine is uncommon and occurs mostly in pediatric patients. Pediatric ACL avulsion fractures can be treated surgically through arthroscopic surgery or open surgery. Recently, arthroscopic surgery has been performed more often than open surgery because the former has been associated with a lower incidence of postoperative complications. Screws, K-wires, and suture anchors have been used as fixative devices during an arthroscopic fixation. Cannulated screw fixation is a simple method for a solid fixation, but it has the risk of causing damage to the growth plate. We report favorable results using a cannulated screw for two cases of pediatric ACL avulsion fractures.
