Video Summary
Dr. Kelly discusses the importance of individualized decision-making for ACL surgeries in adolescents to avoid growth disturbances. He emphasizes the need to respect the physis and consider factors like Tanner stage and graft diameter. Studies show that growth disturbances can occur with various techniques, but using soft tissue grafts and anatomical reconstruction can help minimize risks. It's crucial to avoid fiseal damage and closely monitor patients post-op. Overall, a tailored approach, good surgical technique, and careful follow-up are essential for successful outcomes in young patients undergoing ACL reconstruction.
