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
