Pediatric tibial eminence fractures: arthroscopic cannulated screw fixation.
Two pediatric tibial eminence fractures were arthroscopically reduced and fixed with cannulated screws. At 2-year follow-up, anterior tibial translatory laxity was normal and the pivot shift test was negative. In one case, the screw transgressed the proximal tibial physis; however, neither case showed evidence of proximal tibial growth arrest.
