Advantages and Disadvantages of Tibial Plateau Arthroscopic Reduction–Internal Fixation

Advantages

Maximization of visualization of subchondral surface for precise tamping

Opportunity for repair of ligaments and cartilage simultaneously

Retraction of lateral meniscus for better sight, rather than detachment

Less risk of wound complications or infections

Disadvantages

Longer learning curve for surgeons owing to time and difficulty

Possibility of fluid leakage leading to compartment syndrome

Limited fixation alternatives
