Arthroscopic Assisted Lateral Condyle elevation + Percutaneous CC Screw fixation Tibia


 Scoping  within  a few days with  low gravity flow or pressure  and using the shaver in front of the scope to suck out the clots  to see in front of scope is all always possible. Do not raise flow or pressure as it will break up th clots and compromise vision further due to bernoullis effect .scoping  3 days post injury in low velocity fall like above in 89 year old is possible.
Using cement below the graft adds to support and walking.went  PWB with a valgus unloader brace is possible for immediate mobilisation with only screws to avoid major  plates etc in patients with anticogulants etc. .

Scope and using the  acl jig allows to centralise the guide wire precisely at the depressed area and visualise elevation better than xrays specially mild tilts. A coring reamer over the guide wire within half cm below the   depressed fragment gets you a graft which u can insert under the depressed fragment after elavatio  and seal it below with bone cement or substiute
