This incarceration could be reduced arthroscopically and following debridement of the fracture base, unremarkable arthroscopic reduction was achieved. 2 fibre wire slings around the base of the ACL were brought out in a transosseous fashion and secured over endo buttons on the anterior tibial cortex. One endo button stayed entirely proximal to the physis. The medial button did cross the physis. Both arthroscopic direct visual asses!rt and radiologic confirmation anatomical reduction
