IC 207: Surgical Techniques for ACL Reconstruction in Patients with Open Physes

Course Description:

Pediatric ACL reconstruction is still a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. Many different surgical techniques have been developed with the goal of reducing physeal damage and re-rupture rates. In this case-based IC, a panel of European and US authors describe their indications for ACL reconstruction in the pediatric population and present a re-live surgery of their favorite surgical technique.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants should:
  • Learn the indications for ACL repair and reconstruction in the pediatric population.
  • Learn different techniques to preserve growth plates or minimize physis damage.
  • Learn the importance of return to sports and risk of re-injury in such a delicate population.

Featured Topics:
  • ACL repair
  • All epiphyseal ACL reconstruction
  • Partial transphyseal (tibia) and over the top (femur) ACL reconstruction
  • Kocher/Micheli technique
  • All-epiphyseal over the top Marcacci/Zaffagnini technique
  • Hybrid technique, All epiphyseal (tibia) and over the top (femur) ACL reconstruction
  • Adult type reconstruction.
  • Return to sport and risk of re-injury.


In addition, the paramount importance of return to sport timing and risk of re-injury will be discussed regarding pediatric ACL reconstruction.
