Mean chronological age was 13\u00a0years, and 89% of patients were male. Overall, there were 16 cases of angular malformations and 29 cases of limb length discrepancy. The most common angular malformation was genu valgum (81%, n\u00a0= 13; mean of 6.5\u00b0). The most common surgical technique on the tibia and femur was transphyseal (54%, and 77% respectively), and the most common graft used was hamstring autograft (58%). Among patients with limb length discrepancy, overgrowth was most common (62%, n\u00a0= 18; mean of 13\u00a0mm). Interestingly, we observed that 50% of patients with overgrowth underwent a physeal\u2010sparing technique, whereas 64% of patients with shortening underwent a transphyseal technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At present, there are 21 studies reporting 39 patients with growth abnormalities in the current literature, of which 29 cases were of limb length discrepancy and 16\u00a0of angular malformation. Of the 29 cases of limb length discrepancy, limb overgrowth accounted for 62% of cases. Perhaps most interestingly, physeal\u2010sparing techniques were performed in 25% of the cases of angular malformation and 47% cases of limb length discrepancy, despite the commonly held belief that this technique mitigates the risks of ACL reconstruction by not violating the growth plate. According to this study, it is clear that growth abnormalities after ACL reconstruction in the skeletally immature patient are underreported, and our current understanding of the etiology of these abnormalities is limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Level
