The surgical treatment for fractures of eminentia intercondylaris of the tibia is a controversial topic. Multiple techniques using different approaches, arthroscopic portals, and fixation methods have been described. The arthroscopic treatment of spine avulsion represents a minimally invasive approach which could both restore knee stability and maintain the native anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), with its innervation and proprioception. Moreover, the arthroscopic approach could be useful to detect and address intra-articular concomitant lesions such as meniscal anterior root avulsion. The aim of this chapter is to present the surgical technique to treat tibial eminentia fractures, using arthroscopic reduction and screw fixation.

Abstract
The surgical treatment for fractures of eminentia intercondylaris of the tibia is a controversial topic. Multiple techniques using different approaches, arthroscopic portals, and fixation methods have been described. The arthroscopic treatment of spine avulsion represents a minimally invasive approach which could both restore knee stability and maintain the native anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), with its innervation and proprioception. Moreover, the arthroscopic approach could be useful to detect and address intra-articular concomitant lesions such as meniscal anterior root avulsion.
