Abstrakt: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the primary soft-tissue structure for anterior stabilization of the knee and is one of the most frequently injured structures. The incidence of ACL injuries in children and adolescents ranges from 92 to 151 per 100,000 person-years. The choice of surgical treatment for this population group is controversial, with a widespread concern that adult reconstruction techniques may damage the epiphyseal plate, compromise growth, or cause deformity. In this article, we describe a physeal-sparing, all-inside ACL reconstruction technique for skeletally immature patients. This technique is supported by retrograde drilling of the femoral tunnel and retrograde drilling of the tibial tunnel, both of which are able to avoid the epiphyseal growth line. Fixation of the quadrupled semitendinosus autograft and suture tape augmentation are achieved by soft-tissue buttons on the femur and tibia. The surgical details of this reproducible reconstruction technique are elaborated.
