Abstract：Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of "8" shaped suture and anchor fixation for the treatment of avulsion fracture of tibial intercondylar eminence.Methods From Jan.2007 to Sept.2013,two differ-ent kinds of operational procedures were performed for 52 patients with avulsion fracture of tibial intercondylar emi-nence, who were classified into typeⅡ,typeⅢaccording to the Meyers-Mckeever.The 52 patients were divided in-to 2 groups:"8" shaped suture group(A group,n=28) including 21 males and 7 females with an average age of 24 years;anchor fixation group(group B,n=24) including 19 males and 5 females with an average age of 22 years. The extension function,flexion function,stability and Lysholm score of knee joints in the two groups were compared. Results All patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months ( average 9.2 months) .There were statistically signifi-cant differences between group A and group B for knee extension (P=0.04<0.05),while no statistically signifi-cant difference was found in the other functional aspects( P>0.05) .Conclusion "8" shaped suture is a prefera-ble surgical method for treating avulsion fracture of tibial intercondylar eminence compared to anchor fixation.
