Arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) may reduce soft-tissue disruption compared with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).

Patients underwent ORIF (traditional group, n\u2009=\u200965) or ARIF (arthroscopic-assisted group, n\u2009=\u200968). Outcomes included intraoperative blood loss, operative time, incision length, time to ambulation, fracture healing time, wound healing time, knee range of motion (ROM), pain assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Lysholm score categories (excellent\/good\/fair\/poor) with effectiveness rate (excellent\u2009+\u2009good), and postoperative complications.

Compared with ORIF, ARIF was associated with lower blood loss (200\u2009\u00b1\u200928 vs 250\u2009\u00b1\u200950\u00a0mL; t\u2009=\u20094.779; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05), shorter operative time (73\u2009\u00b1\u200912 vs 90\u2009\u00b1\u200913\u00a0min; t\u2009=\u20095.263; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05), and smaller incisions (6.8\u2009\u00b1\u20091.3 vs 13.8\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3\u00a0cm; t\u2009=\u200914.512; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). ARIF showed faster recovery, including earlier ambulation (3.2\u2009\u00b1\u20090.7 vs 5.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.6\u00a0days; t\u2009=\u20096.273; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and shorter fracture healing time (81.3\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3 vs 87.1\u2009\u00b1\u20092.8\u00a0days; t\u2009=\u20098.767; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). At 6\u00a0months, ARIF achieved greater knee flexion (108.0\u2009\u00b1\u20099.0 vs 97.0\u2009\u00b1\u20099.6\u00b0; t\u2009=\u20094.579; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and lower VAS pain (0.9\u2009\u00b1\u20090.3 vs 1.4\u2009\u00b1\u20090.4; t\u2009=\u20095.477; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
