Arthroscopic roofplasty: Correction of an extension deficit following conservative treatment of a type III tibial avulsion fracture

Extension loss following nonoperative treatment of a Type III tibial avulsion fracture does occur. Arthroscopic roofplasty (notchplasty) and scar excision are described to regain complete extension without compromising knee stability.
