Abstract

Avulsion fracture is more likely the result of a trauma to ligamentous structures than division of their continuity. The presented case of an avulsion fracture of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus from the intercondylar eminence illustrates the actual possibilities of arthroscopic surgery. It demonstrates the advantages of a diathermic cutting hook.
