A novel technique utilizes the shoulder Arthrex Labral Scorpion suture passer for pediatric anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair. This method aids in anatomic stabilization, especially in cases with limited instrumentation or narrow intercondylar spaces.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Pediatric Orthopedics
- Sports Medicine
Background:
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are common knee injuries.
- Traditional ACL repair can be challenging in pediatric patients due to anatomical differences.
- Limited instrumentation or narrow intercondylar spaces can complicate femoral stump access.
