Percutaneous fixation of XXXX under arthroscopy: a medium term perspective.

@entity1 @entity571 @entity174
INTRODUCTION: Arthroscopically assisted percutaneous internal fixation has found its place in the treatment of @entity174 , with good short-term results reported. The objective of this study was to observe the progression of @entity571 at the medium term through clinical and radiological assessment. @entity1 AND METHODS: Twenty-seven @entity1 were treated with arthroscopy-assisted percutaneous fixation for stage I-III Schatzker @entity174 . RESULTS: Twenty-one @entity1 were reviewed with a mean follow-up of 59.5 months (range, 24-138 months); satisfaction was good except for return to sports activity. The mean IKS score was 85.2 for the knee score and 91 for function. The mean Lysholm score was 86 points, with a mean Tegner activity score of 4. A mean score of 25.5 and 8 points was found for the clinical and radiological Rasmussen scores, respectively; 47.6% of the @entity1 presented @entity571 on radiological evaluation. DISCUSSION: The medium-term functional results were comparable to the short-term results. The @entity1 were satisfied except for return to sports activity. Age at surgery appears as a prognostic factor for @entity571 . CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic internal fixation remains the technical reference for @entity174 despite the appearance of @entity571 , which remains less extensive than in open surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV. Retrospective study.
