Suture versus screw fixation technique for tibial eminence fracture: A meta-analysis of laboratory studies.

CONCLUSION: The FiberWire suture fixation may be biomechanically superior to a single screw fixation in TEF treatment in mature knees regarding ultimate failure load, while no significant difference was found between the two fixations in terms of stiffness and displacement after the cyclic testing.
