Abstract
The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) lesions with Tanner stage ≤4 has been increasing in children. To stabilize the knee, different surgical techniques have been developed for ACL reconstruction in the pediatric population. The use of a hybrid anatomic technique, intra-epiphyseal in the femur and transphysis in the tibia, has been recommended as the technique of choice to reconstruct the ACL in these patients. Despite the favorable results, this technique is not exempt from complications. The aim of this study was to present a simple and reproducible modification of the hybrid anatomic technique for ACL reconstruction in pediatric patients.
