Abstract
Arthroscopic-assisted internal fixation is an ideal technique for visualizing chondral reduction during tibial open reduction-internal fixation. Typically, open reduction-internal fixation is performed using radiographic and Fluoroscan imaging (Hologic, Bedford, MA) for reduction of subchondral bone. However, reduction without visualization does not ensure chondral surface reduction. This Technical Note and supplemental video describe an arthroscopic-assisted technique involving the tibial plateau that gives complete visualization as tamping occurs to restore the cartilage surface of the subchondral bone and elevate the fracture.
