Tibial Eminence Avulsion in a Tibial Plateau Fracture – Our Approach: A Clinical Case
Rómulo Silva, José Barreto, Filomena Ferreira, Margarida Areias, Carolina Oliveira, Bruno Alpoim
TL;DR
A middle-aged woman with a complex knee injury was successfully treated using a combined surgical approach involving plate fixation and arthroscopic suture.
Contribution
The paper presents a surgical technique for tibial eminence avulsion that does not interfere with tibial plateau fixation.
Findings
The technique combines medial plate fixation with arthroscopic nonabsorbable suture for tibial eminence avulsion.
The method has shown good results in treating complex knee injuries.
The approach avoids interference with tibial plateau osteosynthesis materials.
Abstract
A middle-aged female patient with a tibial plateau fracture combined with an avulsion of the tibial eminence was treated with a combination of medial plate fixation for the plateau and an arthroscopic aided nonabsorbable suture of the eminence. Our technique for tibial eminence avulsion fractures has no interference with tibial plateau osteosynthesis materials and has proven, once again, to have good results in the treatment of combined and complex injuries of the knee. Uma paciente de meia-idade com fratura do platô tibial e avulsão da eminência tibial foi tratada com uma combinação de fixação do platô com placa medial e sutura da eminência com fio não absorvível auxiliada por artroscopia. Nossa técnica para fraturas com avulsão da eminência tibial não interfere nos materiais de osteossíntese do platô tibial e, mais uma vez, teve bons resultados no tratamento de lesões combinadas e…
