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 follow-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 followed up for 1-6 months. Short- and middle-term therapeutic effect as well 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. All patients were followed up for 1-6 months. The excellent and good rate was 87% at 1 month after treatment and 96% at 6 months after treatment. All the patients had improved IKDC score and Lysholm score after treatment (P < 0.05), indicating that the knee function of patients was improved significantly.
