Abstract:Background: Despite the well-established role of lateral extra-articular procedures (LEAPs) in reducing failure rates after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) in the adult population, similar in-depth research for the adolescent and pediatric population remains lacking. Purpose: To examine the effect of the LEAP augmentation on the rerupture rate after ACLR in patients aged <18 years. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of prospect… Show more
