ABSTRACT
As the number of pediatric and adolescent patients participating in sports continues to increase, so too does the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in this population. There is increasing research on pediatric and adolescent ACL tears; hundreds of articles on the topic have been published in the past few years alone. It is important to highlight the most pertinent information in the past decade. In discussing pediatric ACL tears, it is also important to review tibial spine fractures. These injuries are rightfully grouped together because tibial spine fractures often occur with a mechanism of injury similar to that of ACL tears, but typically in a younger age group. Because management is different, understanding the similarities and differences between the two pathologies is important. Recent updates on the epidemiology, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of both pediatric ACL tears and tibial spine fractures need to be reviewed.
