Tibial Eminence Avulsion in a Tibial Plateau Fracture – Our Approach: A Clinical Case
Article in several languages: português | EnglishFinancial Support There was no financial support from public, commercial or non-profit sources.
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.
Statement of Informed Consent
The patient was informed that data concerning the case would be submitted for publication and agreed.
