    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THIS REPORT IS BEING FILED AFTER THE SUBSEQUENT REVIEW OF THE FOLLOWING LITERATURE ARTICLE: MAUCH, C., ARNOLD, M.P., WIRRIES, A., MAYER, R.R., NIKLAUS, F.F., AND HIRSCHMANN, M.T. (2011) ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION USING QUADRICEPS TENDON AUTOGRAFT FOR ADOLESCENTS WITH OPEN PHYSES- A TECHNICAL NOTE. SPORTS MEDICINE, ARTHROSCOPY, REHABILITATION, THERAPY & TECHNOLOGY 3:7. SWITZERLAND. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE IS TO DESCRIBE THE TECHNIQUE OF A TRANSPHYSEAL ACL RECONSTRUCTION USING QUADRICEPS TENDON-BONE AUTOGRAFT IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH OPEN GROWTH PLATES. THE SECONDARY AIM IS TO REPORT OUR EARLY RESULTS IN TERMS OF POSTOPERATIVE GROWTH DISTURBANCES WHICH ARE CONSIDERED TO BE A MAJOR CONCERN IN THIS CHALLENGING GROUP OF PATIENTS. FROM JANUARY 1997 TO DECEMBER 2007, 49 CONSECUTIVE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH OPEN GROWTH PLATES WERE TREATED FOR A TORN ACL USING THE AFOREMENTIONED SURGICAL TECHNIQUE. THE PATIENTS (28 MALES AND 21 FEMALES) WITH A MEDIAN AGE AT SURGERY OF 13 (RANGE 8-15) YEARS WERE RETROSPECTIVELY EVALUATED. A 3.5 MM POST SCREW (MODIFIED CORTICAL SCREW WITH LONG NECK, SYNTHES, (B)(4)) WAS PLACED INTO THE DISTAL FEMUR. A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED GROWTH DISTURBANCE. SHE DEVELOPED A PROGRESSIVE VALGUS-FLEXION DEFORMITY WHICH WAS ATTRIBUTED TO A MALPLACEMENT OF THE AUTOGRAFT BONE BLOCK WITHIN THE FEMORAL POSTEROLATERAL EPIPHYSEAL PLATE LEADING TO AN EARLY LOCALIZED GROWTH STOP. THIS REPORT IS 1 OF 1 FOR (B)(4). THIS REPORT IS FOR AN UNKNOWN 3.5 MM MODIFIED CORTICAL SCREW WITH LONG NECK.
