| Abstract: | We describe a firm, effective suture-tying method using a tensioner for reattaching tibial avulsion fractures of the anterior
cruciate ligament. Our simple method achieves strong, firm reattachment of the fracture. In addition, it prevents fixation
loosening during suture tying effectively. Since pullout repair using nonabsorbable sutures is commonly used to fix various
avulsion fractures, the tensioner helps attain strong, firm reattachment of avulsion fractures simply and effectively. |
