Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Arthroscopic fixation of tibial spine fracture without damage to the growth plate is very important in patients with open physis. The present article describes a simple and effective technique being used for the first time to treat this condition. CASE REPORT: A 16-year-old boy sustained avulsion fractures of tibial spine while playing. He was treated arthroscopically with excellent result. CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic fixation of tibial spine fracture in patients with open physis with two cannulated screws perpendicular to each other is a very simple technique which provides strong construct, and allows early mobilization without risk of damage to the growth plate.
