The article "Transepiphyseal Replacement of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament in Skeletally Immature Patients: A Preliminary Report" (2003:85;1255-63) by Anderson, describing the preliminary results of transepiphyseal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in skeletally immature patients, has been a great contribution. However, there are two issues that could be clarified by the author regarding the use of this technique in younger patients. These issues are even more relevant now, as the rate of midsubstance ACL tear in prepubescent children is increasing1.
