The injury mechanism was divided into two categories: a) torsional mechanism and b) direct contact injury. All candidates underwent X-ray and MRI/CT scan prior to the surgery to confirm the diagnosis. Operative treatment was open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of osteochondral fragment using headless screws. All patients were assessed pre-operatively with knee-ROM/IKDC (International Knee Documentation committee) score and satisfaction score, and post-operatively at one year follow-up. Fourteen patients were selected, with the mean age of 16.1±3.2 years. On one-year follow-up, no difference was noted in ROM when compared to the unaffected limb. The mean satisfaction score was 86±6.3 %. The mean pre-operative-IKDC score was 47.6±5.8 out of 100, whereas on one-year follow-up it was 88.6±2.2 which was statistically significant (p-value <0.05). ---Continue Author Biographies Sobia Aziz, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College, Karachi, Pakistan resident orthopaedic department of orthopadic liaquat national hospital karachi Noman Khan, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College, Karachi, Pakistan Senior registrar orthopaedic department liaquat national hospital karachi Muhammad Sufyan, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College, Karachi, Pakistan assistant professor orthopaedic department liaquat national hospital karachi Muhammad Kazim, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College, Karachi, Pakistan associate professor orthopaedic department liaquat national hospital karachi Arisha Zaheer, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College, Karachi, Pakistan intern orthopaedic department liaquat national hospital karachi Downloads Full Text Article Published 2024-07-25 How to Cite Aziz, S., Khan, N., Dina, T.
