The aim of the study was to evaluate the knee joint function in adolescent patients following operative treatment - fixation via arthroscopic or open surgery (arthrotomy), due to tibial eminence fractures. 28 patients, aged from 7 to 16 years, treated operatively between 1994-2009 in four orthopeadic centres underwent evaluation. Evaluation was performed 12-180 months following surgery. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the operative treatment received. Group A consisted of 14 patients who underwent arthroscopic reduction and stabilization. Group B consisted of 14 patients who were treated by open reduction (artrothomy) and stabilization. The results of clinical and radiological examinations and isokinetic tests used in the evaluation declared that operative treatment due to tibial eminence fracture, regardless of surgical method used, does not significantly disrupt knee joint function resulting in a slight weakening of knee joint extensor muscle strength.
