| Popis: | Five cases of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, performed for symptomatic episodes of giving way or during surgery for associated injury, were carried out in preepiphyseal closure adolescents (ages 12-15 years), utilising a strip of iliotibial band placed over the top of the lateral femoral condyle in a MacIntosh type repair, and avoiding drilling through epiphyseal plates. At a mean follow-up of 4.4 years, all five were symptomatically satisfactory and all five patients had returned to their preinjury level of sports activity. Although objective assessment revealed that increased laxity, when compared to the normal leg anterior laxity measured by the KT-1000, was within normal limits in four of five patients. Only one patient, who had had a fracture of the contralateral femur, had any leg length discrepancy. |
