Abstract :
INTRODUCTION: It is found that ACL injury in younger age is a significant public health burden with gradually rising incidence over the last decade. Present study is about the incidence of ACL injuries and associated meniscal and osteochondral injuries in children aged less than 18years with comparison of the pattern of various injuries before and after closure of physes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Children were divided into two groups depending on the status of closure of the physis. Intra articular injuries involving cruciate ligaments, menisci and articular cartilage were analyzed for prevalence in relation to the skeletal maturity. RESULTS: Complete rupture including avulsion was significantly more common in mature skeleton and partial tears were more common in immature skeleton with a p value of 0.039 (less than 0.05). CONCLUSION: Commonest injuries involved ACL followed by medial meniscal tears, osteochodral lesions and lateral meniscal injuries.
