 Abstract

- Avulsion fracture of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia(Type III as classified By Meyers and Mckeever) can be managed by arthroscopic reduction and fixation. Recently, the different arthroscopic suturing techniques, fixation with K-wire, screw and staple fixation have been employed to treat this injuries, however, most of these techniques are complicated and they do not always achieve stable fixation enough to facilitate early rehabilitation and restore stability to the knee through a full range of motion so far. A new technique for treatment of the tibial spine fracture arthroscopically, using the tension band method is presented.
The advantage of this method include : 1. to be technically less demanding.
2. to allow for stable fixation even thin or comminuted fragments.
3. to present simple and safe removal of internal fixation.
4. to facilitate early rehabilitation.

Abstract

- Fifty-two femoral shaft fractures in children, treated conservatively, were studied clinically and radiographically to access the overgrowth and it is related factors. Among them, we reviewed fourteen children(16 cases), who had angular deformities over 10 after union for the spontaneous correction of the angular deformity. They had an average follow-up of 40.5 months and 32.4 months.
The results were as follows : 1. The average of the overgrowth was 9.9mm.
2. The overgrowth was influenced by the age, but was not promoted by other factors.
3. The average overgrowth of the age group between 4 and 9 was 10.8 +/- 2.7mm.
4. The average correction was 78% of the initial angular deformity, 77% had occurred at the physes and 23% at the fracture site.
5. There was no close relation between the remodelling rate and degrees of initial deformity.
