The Paediatric ACL National Audit (PANA) study: a multicentre review of UK practice and adherence to BOAST guidelines
The rise in ACL injuries in the paediatric population highlights the need for standardised care delivery and reporting. Following the release of the BOAST guidelines in 2022, this nationwide audit has revealed discrepancies in UK practices. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for improving patient care and outcomes by standardising and promoting best practice.
