Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Proven primary ACL rupture, confirmed by means of history, physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for which ACL reconstruction with an autologous tendon graft was performed - Open physis at time of surgery, based on the pre-operative radiograph - Minimum follow-up of 1 year - 16 years or older at the time of recruitment for the present study (only applicable to group 1) - 12 years or older at the time of recruitment for the present study (only applicable to group 2)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Unable to understand Dutch language - Contralateral ACL rupture, with open physis at time of ACL reconstruction - Multiligamentous injury (lateral or medial collateral ligament > grade 2, posterior cruciate ligament > grade 1) -Under 16 years of age at time of prospective data collection (only applicable to group 1) -Under 12 years of age at time of retrospective data collection (only applicable to group 2)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective is to determine the incidence of linear and angular growth disturbances following ACL reconstruction in patients with open physis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary objectives are the PROMS, clinemetrics, complications, failure rate. And the incidence of growth disturbance plotted against the amount of growth remaining at the time of ACL surgery and surgical technique. As well as to determine the incidence of early growth disturbances and the influence of the estimated residual growth and operative technique on growth disturbances. | — |
