Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The primary objective is to determine the incidence of linear and angular<br /><br>growth disturbances following ACL reconstruction in patients with open physis. </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Secondary objectives are the PROMS, clinemetrics, complications, failure rate.<br /><br>And the incidence of growth disturbance plotted against the amount of growth<br /><br>remaining at the time of ACL surgery and surgical technique. As well as to<br /><br>determine the incidence of early growth disturbances and the influence of the<br /><br>estimated residual growth and operative technique on growth disturbances.</p><br>
