Introduction: The ruptures of the anterior cross ligament are increasing in the child. The risk of minuscular injury
and premature arthrosis degradation, therefore, explain the evolution of ligamentoplasty in the growing child. The
GnRB device is used in clinical practice in the preoperative evaluation of anterior cross ligament ruptures in adults
and in the postoperative assessment of ligamentoplasties. The child has an evolutionary intrinsic peripheral laxity
with growth.
The objective of this study is to analyze anterior tibial translational physiology in a healthy population of children
to obtain reference values and to assist in the analysis of the pre-or post-operative assessment of past cross
ligament ruptures in a growing child.
Material and Methods: 60 children under the age of 15 were included in this monocentri.. View More»
