ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

With the increase of sports injury and traffic injury and the deepening of understanding, it is found that the incidence of the disease is high at present.

Research motivation

In this study, the therapeutic effect of two methods on avulsion fracture of tibial insertion of anterior cruciate ligament was investigated.

Research objectives

This study aimed to compare the difference between these two operations for the treatment of tibial avulsion fractures of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Research methods

Patients were treated with high-intensity non-absorbable suture under arthroscopy.

Research results

Both small incision open reduction and internal fixation and arthroscopic high-strength non-absorbable sutures can achieve good results in the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fractures.

Research conclusions

The operation time of arthroscopic high-intensity non-absorbable suture is slightly longer, but the complication rate is lower.

Research perspectives

There are different opinions on how to choose between the two surgical methods in clinical practice. More studies are required in the future.
