PURPOSE: Tibial spine avulsion fractures compromise ACL function and are common in children and adolescents. Traditional fixation methods may risk physeal injury and intra-articular damage. Arthroscopic suture-based techniques offer a minimally invasive, physeal-sparing alternative.
METHODS: Twenty-five patients (mean age: 19 years) with type II-IV tibial spine fractures underwent arthroscopic anterior row suture fixation using knotless anchors. Functional outcomes as Lysholm, Internation Knee Documentation Committee rating score (IKDC), Range of motion (ROM), stability, and radiological healing were assessed over 24 months.
RESULTS: All patients achieved radiographic union (mean: 16 weeks). Final follow-up showed restoration of pre-injury Lysholm (94 ± 5 to 93.6 ± 0.8), IKDC (84 ± 7 to 83.9 ± 0.7), and ROM (142°-140°). No instability, growth disturbance, or hardware-related complications were observed.
CONCLUSION: This technique provides stable fixation, preserves the physis, and avoids intra-articular hardware. Functional and radiological outcomes were excellent, supporting arthroscopic suture fixation as a safe and effective option for tibial spine avulsion fractures.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, prospective study.
