Radiological parameters were measured on both preoperative and follow-up radiographs.

The mean follow-up duration was 12.1 years (range, 5.0-23.1 years). There were 31 knees in the pediatric group and 26 knees in the adult group.

Overall, 2 patients underwent arthroscopic surgery because of a symptomatic recurrence of symptoms, and 2 patients underwent arthroplasty because of osteoarthritis.
