Abstract

• The tibial condylar fracture is a fracture of the proximal end of the tibia, involving as they do weight-bearing articular sufaces and frequently accompanied by soft tissue injuries and menisci present a variety of problems in the treatment and prognosis. We performed reduction of the depressed articular fragment under mornitoring of arthroscopy and under the control of image intensifier and fixed with cannulated cancellous screws and accompanied by bone graft in 7 cases of the 11 cases. The results were satisfactory Arthroscopy bridges the advantage of accurate reduction and fixation without extensive operative exposure. In addition, arthroscopy allows through lavage, removal of loose fragment and accurate of associated intraarticular pathology. Since extensive exposure is avoided, rapid recovery with reduced pain and early full ROM us achieved in patients managed arthroscopically.
