Résumé

Purpose: Anterior cruciate ligament repair techniques are of growing interest because they allow for minimally invasive surgery that avoids harvesting of the transplant, without risking growth deficiencies in young patients. The aim of this study is to summarize the published evidence about arthroscopic repair of anterior cruciate ligament proximal tears in skeletally immature patients. Methods: In total, four studies were included and processed for data extraction after screening for eligibility for this systematic review: one retrospective cohort study and three retrospective case series. Altogether, the four studies included in this review included 61 skeletally immature patients with a mean age of 12.1 years diagnosed with proximal anterior cruciate ligament tear who underwent arthroscopic repair with preservation of the native ligament. The mean follow-up period was 2.8 years. Results: The most relevant and objective outcome that we considered was re-rupture rate. One study reports a cumulative incidence of graft failure in the first 3 years after surgery of 48.8% while the others report a 0%, 0% and 21.5% re-rupture rate. No growth disturbances were reported in the included studies. Conclusion: Despite growing interest surrounding anterior cruciate ligament repair techniques, the presence of limited quality studies in the literature means repair cannot be strongly supported at present. Some encouraging data regarding the absence of growth disturbance and functional outcomes does exist, but studies with larger samples are required. Level of evidence: level IV.
