VIENNA — A 10-year study has found surgical repair to be a safe and effective treatment of ACL lesions in adolescent patients.
“We have learned that the conservative treatment for ACL lesions in adolescents is not good,” Gian Luigi Canata, MD, of Italy, said here at the 10th EFORT Congress. “But there are no level I or II studies that have addressed operative techniques or the timing of the reconstruction.”
