The number of reconstruction surgeries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in pediatric patients has risen dramatically over the past two decades as a result of changes in treatment philosophy and perhaps frequency of injury. It is therefore important for pediatric radiologists to recognize the normal postoperative appearance of the different surgeries as well as their complications. This educational exhibit will review the types of reconstructive methods used in both skeletally immature and mature patients (physeal-sparing, partial transphyseal and transphyseal), complications (growth disturbances, graft failure, impingement, arthrofibrosis, intra-articular bodies) and relevant imaging findings on plain radiography and MRI.

Soccer practice is steadily increasing in the world and brings its statistics of injuries, most of them acute and minor. There is a better understanding of the epidemiology and biomechanics in the genesis of such injuries. This electronic presentation on soccer injuries in children outlines the following: 1. Review of epidemiology and biomechanics factors (equipment, athletic skills, contact sport). 2. Mechanisms of injury: headings, avulsion, contusion, fracture, twisting knee injury, overuse). 3. Imaging characteristics at various sites of injury. Read More
