【 摘 要 】

The management of the pediatric patient with an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) rupture is evolving towards earlier reconstruction. The rehabilitation progression and outcomes for skeletally immature individuals undergoing ACL reconstruction (ACL-R) are not well described in the literature. Differences in surgical procedure, age related physiology, and emotional maturity may have a significant impact on recovery and return to sports. The purpose of this case report is to present the rehabilitation and outcome of a skeletally immature patient that underwent an all-epiphyseal ACL-R, highlight important considerations in the rehabilitation process and present topics for future research.
