Objective:

The best pediatric and adolescent athlete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury management method remains unknown. This systematic narrative review examined ACL reconstruction (ACLR), ACL repair, and conservative brace, or rehabilitation-based therapeutic exercise interventions with a delayed ACLR option for pediatric and adolescent ACL injury management. The primary purpose was to compare failure rates, return to sport (RTS) rates, and perceived knee function.

Methods:

The PubMed, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, Sage Journals, and OVID (Medline) databases were searched. The Modified Coleman Methodology Score (MCMS) assessed study methodological quality and bias risk.

Results:

Fifty-six studies were included. Group 1 (ACLR) studies were published before Group 2 (ACL repair) or Group 3 (conservative brace, or rehabilitation-based therapeutic exercise intervention with a delayed ACLR option) studies (Group 1 = 2010.8 ± 9; Group 2 = 2015.9 ± 10; Group 3 = 2018.0 ± 4, p = 0.05). Group 2 displayed "good" quality (MCMS = 70.2 ± 7.9), while Group 1 (MCMS = 63.3 ± 6.8) and Group 3 (MCMS = 59.8 ± 6.4) displayed "fair" quality (p ≤ 0.03). Group 2 had more level 1 or 2 studies, and Group 1 had more level 4 studies (p = 0.007). Lysholm scores were similar (Group 1 = 94.4 ± 2.7, Group 2 = 92.1 ± 6.8, Group 3 = 95, p = 0.51). Group RTS rates were similar (Group 1 = 88.8 ± 14%, Group 2 = 94.1 ± 10%, Group 3 = 78.6 ± 21%; p = 0.22). Group 1 failure rates (7.4 ± 6.6%) were < Group 2 (17.0 ± 19%) (p = 0.02) and Group 3 (32.4 ± 18%) (p < 0.001).

Conclusion:

Although ACLR had lower failure rates, neurocognitive, reactive strength, and psychological readiness assessments were underreported. The stronger methodological rigor for ACL repair studies was encouraging but long-term outcomes are lacking.

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
