Arthrosc Tech. 2021 Jun 20;10(7):e1695-e1702. doi: 10.1016/j.eats.2021.03.014. eCollection 2021 Jul.

Abstract

Reports of surgical resection and internal fixation for symptomatic tibial spine malunion are rare, and the reported techniques typically involve an open surgical approach. We present an all-arthroscopic technique of tibial spine malunion treatment, with selective arthroscopic bone resection below the tibial spine, preserving the anterior cruciate ligament attachment, followed by internal fixation of the tibial spine with a hybrid transtibial and suture-bridge construct using knotless anchors and tape sutures.
