Femoral-Physeal-Sparing ACL Reconstruction With Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis and Inside-Out Repair of Lateral Meniscus in a Skeletally Immature Patient
Abstract:Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in skeletally immature patients have an increased risk of graft failure and a decreased rate of successful return to sports. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLRs) combined with lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) procedures are reported to limit anterolateral rotary instability of the knee, decreasing tension on the ACL graft. However, the open physes found in pediatric patients present unique challenges for ACLR. This video demonstr… Show more
