Objective:
To review the advances in double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in adolescents at home and abroad.
Methods:
Recent literature about double-bundle ACL reconstruction in adolescents at home and abroad was extensively consulted, and the relationship between bone canal and epiphyseal plate, clinical verification of surgical safety, and clinical effectiveness of double-bundle ACL reconstruction in adolescents were summarized and analyzed.
Results:
Double-bundle ACL reconstruction has certain advantages in clinical stability and re-rupture rate when compared with single-bundle ACL reconstruction in adolescents, and there is no significant difference in safety between them.
Conclusion:
Double-bundle ACL reconstruction in adolescents can achieve lower re-rupture rate and better stability when compared with single-bundle reconstruction. However, the sample size of clinical research is too small, and the follow-up time is too short, so the effectiveness needs to be continuously observed.
