Popis: Introduction: Tibial intercondylar eminence fractures are uncommon injuries, occurring mainly in adolescents and young adults. When necessary, regardless of patient age, anatomic reduction and stable internal fixation are mandatory for fracture healing and accurate restoration of normal knee biomechanics. There are various arthroscopically assisted fixation methods (sutures, anchors, wires, or screws). We present a case, in which we reduced the fracture using fiber wire suture, fixing it with EndoButtonR on the medial tibial tuberosity, with a clinical and radiological follow-up of three months.
