Abstract
|
|
|
|
With the increased participation in sports activity, there is an increased tendency of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in children and adolescents. Nonsurgical management including activity modification, bracing, and physical therapy, is best used for patients with partial tears involving <50% of the ACL diameter. In patients with complete ruptures, chronological, physiological, and skeletal maturity must be assessed to select the appropriate surgical technique. This paper reviews the management of ACL tears in skeletally immature patients.
