Conditions studied: ACL Reconstruction
In brief
To assess the risk of lower extremity angular growth deformity following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in young patients who are not yet skeletally mature. The study will compare two surgical techniques (physeal sparing vs transphyseal).

You may qualify if…
- Subjects will be identified by reviewing medical records that include a procedure code for ACL reconstruction in patients between the ages of 6-16 at the time of surgery. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be contacted by phone and invited to participate in the study. A key personnel member who is part of the principal investigator's research staff will make phone contact with the patient. The study will be explained and any questions that the subject may have will be answered at that time. If the subject agrees to participate in the study, he/she will make an appointment at that time to come in to be consented and participate in the study and for imaging and testing at Duke Sports Sciences Institute.
