%X The robotically simulated clinical pivot shift (PS), a dynamic loading profile based on measurement of loads applied by a surgeon, was developed as a more robust test for detecting kinematic changes for evaluating ACL reconstructions [2]. Two ACL reconstruction techniques were evaluated in this study: the all-epiphyseal (AE) and over-the-top (OTT). These techniques are used exclusively in the pediatric population in lieu of traditional techniques so as not to disrupt the epiphyseal in growing patients. Both techniques¡¯ effectiveness in restoring intact knee kinematics has been examined previously in a cadaveric study, concluding that both techniques provide anterior and rotational stability, but no conclusions were made as to which technique provided more stability [1]. This study aimed to use the simulated clinical PS to assess anterior and rotational stability provided by the AE and OTT surgical techniques
