Abstract:

Peak external knee valgus moment can predict future ACL injury and is, often times, asymmetric following anatomic intra-articular ACL reconstruction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the external knee valgus moment during a drop landing and a single limb squat 2 years following an iliotibial band (ITB) intra-articular and extra-articular physeal-sparing ACL reconstruction. Methods: Fourteen study subjects (mean age: 14.3 ± 2.6 yrs) who had previously undergone a physeal-sparing ACL reconstruction, as originally described by McIntosh using an ITB autograft, were enrolled in this IRB-approved study. All subjects were seen at a minimum of 24 months after surgery (mean follow-up: 55.0 ± 28.9 mos) and clinical, radiographic, and patient reported outcomes were collected. During functional testing, subjects underwent drop landing (DL) and unilateral squat (US) tasks. Isokinetic muscle strength of the hip and knee was collected using an isokinetic dynamometer at 60°/s. Paired student’s t-tests evaluated differences between affected (AFF) and unaffected (UNAFF) limbs
