Abstract
Tibial avulsion fractures comprise a subset of anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Primary fixation methods have traditionally used either screw or suture fixation. New anchor and suture technologies have led to the development of tensionable and retensionable techniques. These newer techniques allow for not only anatomic reduction but also further compression after reduction. The purpose of this technical note is to introduce a tensionable and retensionable construct that uses knotless anchor fixation to produce compression after anatomic reduction of a tibial avulsion fracture.
