Physeal‐sparing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction provides better initial joint biomechanics than complete transphyseal reconstruction in an early adolescent porcine model
In early adolescent porcine joints, the physeal-sparing technique led to better initial joint stability with less anterior force shifted to the MCL compared to the complete transphyseal technique.
