Background: In a simple isolated capitellar/trochlear fracture without extensive posterior comminution, arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) can provide an alternative option to open reduction internal fixation. The purpose of this retrospective case series was to report on the technique and outcomes of arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation of capitellar/trochlear fractures. Methods: All patients that underwent ARIF at a single upper extremity referral centre in the last twenty years were reviewed. Patient demographics, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative records were obtained through chart review and telephone followup. Results: Ten cases of ARIF were identified over a twenty year period performed by two surgeons. The average age of patients was 37 years (17–63 years), with nine females and one male. With an average followup of eight years, nine of ten patients had a mean range of motion from 0 to 142 degrees. Their average MEPI and PREE score were 93 ± 7 and 8 ± 14, respectively. Four patients had focal cartilage collapse with three that required a reoperation. There were no infections, nonunions, or arthroscopy related complications. Conclusion: ARIF offers an alternative to ORIF for capitellar/trochlear fractures producing good results while providing better visualization of the fracture reduction and minimizing soft tissue dissection.
