Complications Leading to Reoperation After Pediatric Tibial Spine Fracture Fixation

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to identify the common complications leading to reoperation after pediatric tibial spine fracture fixation and evaluate associated risk factors. They found that stiffness and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency were the most frequent reasons for reoperation, with screw fixation, meniscal entrapment, and longer operative times significantly increasing the risk of complications. Additionally, older patients with concomitant meniscal injuries were more likely to require delayed ACL reconstruction.
