Abstract:ObjectiveTo compare the effect of arthroscopic non-absorbable suture and Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture.Methods40 patients with anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture fixation from January 2013 to January 2016 in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group,20 cases in each group.The experimental group was treated with arthroscopic non-absorbable suture fixation,while the control group was given Kirschner wire internal fixation.The Lysholm score,the IKDC score,the Tegner score,the condition of postoperative joint adhesion,the condition of anterior drawer test,average time of bony healing,average time of starting weight-bearing and average degree of knee flexion were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe Lysholm score,the IKDC score and the Tegner score in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group,with significant difference (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the condition of postoperative joint adhesion and the condition of anterior drawer test between the two groups(P>0.05).The average time of bone healing and the average time of starting weight-bearing in the experimental group was shorter than that in the control group,and the average degree of flexion of the knee joint in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group,with significant difference(P<0.05).ConclusionArthroscopic treatment of anterior cruciate ligament of the knee anatomy of the tibial fracture is an internal fixation of the intra-articular fracture.Compared with Kirschner wire,fixation materials used non-absorbable suture has the advantages of better recovery of knee joint,less joint adhesion and quick recovery of knee flexion function,it is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
