Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Pediatric and Skeletally Immature Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

The LET procedure, as an adjunct to ACLR in pediatric and adolescent patients, has been shown to be safe with low complication rates-including physeal disturbance. Pooled data from the literature to date demonstrate that ACLR combined with an LET has a lower rate of graft rerupture while maintaining previously described high rates of RTS in pediatric patients compared with isolated ACLR.

Abstract

The LET procedure, as an adjunct to ACLR in pediatric and adolescent patients, has been shown to be safe with low complication rates-including physeal disturbance. Pooled data from the literature to date demonstrate that ACLR combined with an LET has a lower rate of graft rerupture while maintaining previously described high rates of RTS in pediatric patients compared with isolated ACLR.
