MORALES PINEIRO, Sergio  y  MATA CUEVAS, Roberto. Arthroscopic treatment of the anterior tibial spine fracture: Presentation of a surgical technique. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2000, vol.14, n.1-2, pp.32-35. ISSN 0864-215X.

arthroscopic surgical technique for treating type II-b anterior tibial spine fracture (2 patients) and another type III-a fracture is described according to the modified classification of these injuries developed by our service. All the patients are males aged 15-44. The technique is based on the fixation of the bony fragment by tense wire through the tibial tunnels, which allows to remove the implant once the fracture is reduced. A new arthroscopic approach is not necessary.
