Cover Story: Pediatric anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in skeletally immature patients presents a delicate balance between restoring knee stability and preserving future skeletal growth. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the comparative outcomes of physeal-sparing versus transphyseal reconstruction across 22 studies, examining patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), return-to-sport rates, and growth disturbances. Providing a comprehensive framework of these surgical approaches allows for improved clinical decision-making, risk stratification, and patient counseling, which together promote optimized care and outcomes for pediatric athletes. View this paper
