| Popis: | This report describes a case of symmetric femoral and tibial overgrowth of 2.8 cm in a 13-year-old patient after undergoing reconstruction surgery for his torn right anterior cruciate ligament. A literature review of previous cases is also provided. Following a pediatric anterior cruciate ligament tear, delaying surgery until the patient approaches skeletal maturity may avoid long-term growth disturbances, however, delaying this procedure may increase the probability of further joint damage. This growth disturbance was managed with a percutaneous epiphysiodesis that corrected the limb length deformity. |
