Pediatric ACL Panel Discussion 10

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of doctors discuss the treatment options for a 12-year-old female soccer player with an ACL tear. The doctors agree that a soft tissue graft, either from the hamstring or quadriceps, should be used. They also discuss the use of guided growth, particularly for patients with valgus. There is some debate about whether to use an LET (lateral extra-articular tenodesis) procedure, with factors such as ligament laxity, pivot shift, and age being considered. Overall, the panel recommends a combination of soft tissue graft, guided growth, and possibly an LET procedure for this patient.
