Abstract

Intro With an increased incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and high rates of re-injury among skeletally immature individuals, investigators have attempted to identify factors that may help risk stratify patients and provide families with prognostic data concerning the risk of re-injury.

The authors hypothesize that the distal …
