ABSTRACT
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries among young patients have increased in recent years. The purpose of this study was to present a physeal-sparing intra- and extra-articular reconstruction using semitendinosus and gracilis tendons autograft. In recent years, the management of these injuries in the pediatric population has become increasingly surgical to restore knee function and reduce the risk of meniscal and chondral injury due to persistent knee instability. However, this is a population at high risk for ACL graft rupture, but it can be lowered by an addition of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET). This study shows the pearls and pitfalls of an arthroscopic physeal-sparing ACL reconstruction combined with a concomitant LET using hamstrings autograft.
