title: Tibial eminence fractures.
abstract: We recommend a treatment algorithm for tibial eminence fracture management (Fig.11). Displaced and irreducible fractures require arthroscopic or open treatment based on surgeon preference. Objective sagittal plane laxity does not translate into long-term clinical or subjective instability. Every effort should be made to obtain the best possible reduction with stable fixation, when needed, to maximize function.
