OCHOA CAZARES, René  and  NARVAEZ CORONA, René Gabriel. Arthroscopic management of tibial spine fracture with TightRope in pediatric patient. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.2, pp.262-266.  Epub Nov 23, 2021. ISSN 1870-7203.  https://doi.org/10.35366/100452.

Fractures of the tibial spine in pediatric patients are a challenge for surgical treatment because of risk of damage to the physis and the fragment itself. There have been different techniques in development, from which arthroscopic treatment remains the best option for faster rehabilitation, as well as preservation of the physis or the least possible disruption of it, and no need for a second procedure for implant removal. The use of TightRope system in both ends of the fixation allows for optimal reduction with preservation of the tibial spine fragment and the physis with little to no growth compromise.

Keywords : Tibial spine; arthroscopy; TightRope.
