In each age-matched group of knees, 4 knees underwent randomization to fixation with 2 screws while 4 knees were randomized to fixation using a dual-suture technique. Once fixation was complete, the specimens underwent cyclic loading (200 cycles) in the anteroposterior plane of the tibia and load-to-failure testing, both with the knee positioned at 30\u00b0 of flexion. Relevant measurements were recorded, and data were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among mature specimens, load to failure was 1.9 times higher in the suture fixation group compared with the screw fixation group (1318.84 \u00b1 305.55 vs 711.66 \u00b1 279.95 N, respectively; P = .03). The load to failure was not significantly different between the groups in immature specimens (suture: 470.00 \u00b1 161.91 N vs screw: 348.79 \u00b1 102.46; P = .08).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings suggest that suture fixation may represent a better construct choice for fixation of tibial eminence fractures in the skeletally mature population. However, in the skeletally immature population, fixation with screws or suture may be equivalent. Displacement after cyclic loading did not appear to differ by fixation method, nor did stiffness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Relevance:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A stronger fixation construct may be beneficial and allow for earlier range of motion to help potentially decrease postoperative stiffness.
