Abstract

Arthroscopic assisted fixation has become the gold standard for managing Schatzker III tibial plateau fractures. There are different techniques available to reduce and fix the central depression. We present one such case of a 41 years old female who had good outcome following arthroscopic assisted fixation using anterior cruciate ligament guide, dilators and calcium hydroxyapatite bone substitute.
