Video Summary

In this video, a panel of experts discuss various topics related to ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) repairs in pediatric patients. They discuss the potential benefits of repair in skeletally immature children and the use of different grafts, such as hamstring and quad tendon. The panel also discusses the sizing of grafts and the importance of avoiding graft tunnel mismatch. They mention the option of a hybrid procedure and the use of a button on the tibial side for fixation. The panel concludes by discussing the possibility of combining ACL repair with guided growth procedures and the potential role of ACL repair as a less invasive surgical option for children.
