PURPOSE: Our aim was to determine the outcome of arthroscopic-assisted reduction with bilateral buttress plate fixation for the treatment of @entity6044 . TYPE OF STUDY: Case series. METHODS: 18 consecutive @entity1 (12 @entity1 , 6 @entity1 ) with @entity174 were enrolled in this prospective study. All @entity1 underwent arthroscopic-assisted bilateral buttress plate fixation of @entity6044 . The average age at operation was 35 years (range, 23 to 45 years). The follow-up period ranged from 39 to 69 months, with an average of 48 months. Using the Schatzker classification, there were 11 type V and 7 type VI @entity174 . The clinical and radiological outcomes were determined according to Rasmussen's system. RESULTS: All of the 18 @entity174 united. Overall, 4 (22%) @entity1 were rated as excellent, 12 (67%) good, and 2 (11%) fair. Secondary @entity571 appeared in 3 injured knees (16.7%). One @entity1 had a wound dehiscence (3 cm long) of the medial incision. @entity308 was noted in 3 @entity1 without functional instability. Two @entity1 had valgus alignment between 10 degrees and 15 degrees. Two @entity1 had the paresthesia over the lateral @entity291 . There were no complications directly associated with arthroscopy in any of the 18 @entity1 . No @entity1150 , @entity281 , or knee stiffness was found at final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopic-assisted reduction with bilateral buttress plate fixation for @entity174 allows accurate @entity174 reduction, diagnosis, and treatment of associated @entity75 , and less dissection than open reduction internal fixation.
