Abstract
Fixation of unstable osteochondral joint fragments is vital to long-term joint function, but there are various repair techniques in the literature. This technical note describes a suture bridge technique performed arthroscopically that reduces the potential for future complications post operatively while stabilizing an osteochondral fracture fragment of the medial femoral condyle. The utilization of commonly available sutures and suture anchors to stabilize a well-debrided osteochondral fracture fragment preserves native cartilage while restoring the articular surface.
