What the study is about

The overall aim of this multicenter RCT is to determine whether concomitant ALL reconstruction in children undergoing and ACL reconstruction will longitudinally result in a lower rate of graft failure than ACL reconstruction alone.

Being studied: Patients will be randomized into one of two study arms: (1) concomitant ACL and ALL reconstruction or (2) ACL reconstruction alone.

Conditions: ACL Injury; ACL Tear
