The goal of the surgical procedures in skeletally immature patients is to restore joint stability avoiding the adverse effects on the growth process. The aim of this study was to verify the return of the skeletally immature professional athletes to sports in the long-term, following ACL reconstruction with the original all-inside technique and with manual drilling.\n\nMethods: This study included 24 athletes (14 boys, 10 girls; mean age: 13.15 years, range: 9e14 years) who had radiographic evidence of open physes, were less than 14 years of age at the time of surgery and those with a minimum follow-up of eight years. All patients completed a questionnaire, the IKDC subjective knee evaluation form, and Tegner Activity Scale. Biomechanical outcomes of the KT-1000 arthrometer, gait analysis, and stabilometric and isokinetic results were also evaluated. A plain radiograph of both lower limbs was taken to obtain a precise measurement of the limb length and mechanical axis angles.\n\nResults: The patients returned to sport activities in a mean time of 6.43 months. No rerupture or resurgery due to growth abnormalities was observed. The mean difference in length between the operated and contralateral legs was 0.4 (range: 0.2 to 0.7) cm. The mean side-to-side difference measured with the KT-1000 arthrometer was 5.2 (range: 3.5 to 7) mm in the preoperative and 0.8 (range: 0 to 2.5) mm in the postoperative measurements.\n\nConclusion: In conclusion, the original all-inside technique with manual drilling with a half tunnel and short graft seems to be a very effective technique for the surgical management of ACL injuries in pediatric\/adolescent athletes. A good rate of return to sports at pre-injury levels or higher, high patient satisfaction and a decent motor and proprioceptive function is possible as shown by our analysis.\n\nLevel of evidence: Level IV, Therapeutic study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,3]],"date-time":"2016-11-03T11:45:45Z","timestamp":1478173545000},"page":"635-638","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Return to sport activity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in skeletally immature athletes with manual drilling original all inside reconstruction at 8 years follow-up"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Giacomo","family":"Placella","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matteo","family":"Bartoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Peruzzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Speziali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valerio","family":"Pace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuliano","family":"Cerulli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.006_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"697","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465020300051201","article-title":"Partial tears of the anterior cruciate ligament in children and adolescents","volume":"30","author":"Kocher","year":"2002","journal-title":"Am J Sports Med"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.006_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"452","DOI":"10.1097\/01241398-200207000-00008","article-title":"Management and complications of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in skeletally immature patients: survey of the Herodicus Society and the ACL Study Group","volume":"22","author":"Kocher","year":"2002","journal-title":"J\u00a0Pediatr Orthop"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.006_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"82","DOI":"10.1097\/MOP.0000000000000174","article-title":"Surgical options for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in the young child","volume":"27","author":"Gausden","year":"2015","journal-title":"Curr Opin Pediatr"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.006_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1097\/BPO.0b013e3182a008b6","article-title":"Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in children with a quadrupled semitendinosus graft: preliminary results with minimum 2 years of follow-up","volume":"34","author":"Cassard","year":"2014","journal-title":"J\u00a0Pediatr Orthop"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.006_bib5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"704","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2010.11.062","article-title":"Treating anterior cruciate ligament tears in skeletally immature patients","volume":"27","author":"Vavken","year":"2011","journal-title":"Arthroscopy"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.006_bib6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"38","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.84B1.11773","article-title":"The natural history and treatment of rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in children and adolescents.
