What should I do if my child hurt a knee, and I’m not sure if they have a torn ACL?
Make an appointment to see a pediatric orthopedic physician. The physician will examine your child’s knee, take imaging scans and diagnose your child’s knee injury. We advise seeking treatment as soon as possible to prevent further injury.
My child is still growing, so is ACL reconstruction surgery even possible?
Possibly. It depends on the severity of the ACL injury and your child’s desire to make a quick return to sports. Our physicians specialize in treating ACL injuries in growing children with minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery that avoids their open growth plates. Your physician will discuss a clear treatment plan with you on your first visit.
