Hollow screw and suture fixation for treatment of tibial intercondylar eminence fractures under arthroscopy
Chen Wei-dong
Abstract：BACKGROUND:Intercondylar eminence fractures of the tibia are often treated by arthroscopic surgery, but the fixation methods are controversial. <br> OBJECTIVE:To compare curative effect of hol ow screw and suture fixation in treatment of tibial intercondylar eminence fractures under arthroscopy. <br> METHODS:A total of 46 patients with tibial intercondylar eminence fractures were recruited from the Third People’s Hospital of Yancheng, China from June 2010 to January 2013. According to the patient’s wil ing and physician’s suggestions, the involved patients were divided into hol ow screw group (n=25) and suture fixation group (n=21), undergoing hol ow screw and suture fixation under arthroscopy, respectively. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:According to Ikeuchi grade, the excellent and good rate after fixation showed no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05), but the functional training time in hol ow screw group was significantly shorter than that in suture fixation group (P<0.05). Hol ow screw treatment under the arthroscopy is better than suture fixation in treatment of intercondylar eminence fractures of the tibia.
