Abstract
Our modification of the technique for arthroscopic reduction and suture fixation of displaced fractures of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia is described in this report. The advantages of this technique include no retained hardware, ability to treat comminuted (type IV) injuries, and technical simplicity. In combination with a relatively aggressive postoperative rehabilitation program, the treatment of six adults with this technique is described.
