Abstract
We describe the first report of arthroscopically-assisted reduction and fixation of an adult Tillaux fracture. Anatomic reduction of the fracture was possible with arthroscopic visualization. Adjunctive use of the arthroscope for accurate reduction of intraarticular fractures, which has been successful in the management of distal radius and tibial plateau fractures, can also be used for adult Tillaux fractures of the ankle.
