Technique Advantages, Disadvantages, and Special Cautions

Advantages

Simple technique

Strong fixation achieved owing to suture-bridge fixation technique

Cost savings

No intra-articular hardware fixation and avoidance of related complications

Tibial guide and K-wire may assist anatomic reduction of fragment

Disadvantages and special cautions

Possibility of iatrogenic fracture of fragment: Avoid drilling through small fragments

Potential for bone-bridge fracture

No clinical-outcome studies of technique currently available
