While complications such as arthrofibrosis and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency have been previously reported, the risk factors associated with unplanned reoperation remain incompletely understood.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Purpose:<\/jats:title>\n To identify the most common complications leading to reoperation and to evaluate associated risk factors, using a multicenter quality improvement registry.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A multicenter registry of operatively treated pediatric TSFs was retrospectively reviewed from July 2018 to March 2025 across 27 institutions. Grade 3 complications were defined as complications resulting in reoperation, unplanned hospitalization, or interventional radiologic procedures. Complication types, patient and injury characteristics, fixation methods, and intraoperative findings were analyzed. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for Clavien-Dindo grade 3 complications.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 532 patients were included (mean age, 12.1 years; 73.4% men). Overall, 56 patients (10.5%) underwent reoperation. The most common reasons for reoperation were stiffness (4.9%) and ACL insufficiency (3.6%). Screw fixation of TSFs was associated with a 4.5-fold increased risk of grade 3 complications compared with suture fixation (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .009). Both suture and anchor fixation (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .045) and longer operative times (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .020) were also associated with higher complication rates. Meniscal or intermeniscal ligament entrapment was significantly associated with increased stiffness-related reoperation (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .045). Patients who underwent delayed ACL reconstruction (ACLR) were older (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .041) and more likely to have concomitant meniscal tears (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .011) at the time of their TSF.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Stiffness and ACL insufficiency represented the most frequent indications for reoperation after TSF fixation. Screw fixation, meniscal entrapment, and prolonged operative time were significant predictors of reoperation. Older age and concomitant meniscal injuries increased the risk of delayed ACLR.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23259671261419525","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,11]],"date-time":"2026-03-11T19:14:46Z","timestamp":1773256486000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Complications Leading to Reoperation After Pediatric Tibial Spine Fracture Fixation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3428-2767","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Benjamin R.","family":"Caruso","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington State University Elson S.
