Will The ACL Surgery Affect Growth Plate Leading To Deformity?
sir my son, 14.5 years had ACL broken. Dr. has advised surgery for ACL reconstruction through arthroscopy. My concern is about growth plates which are still open. Will the surgery not affect growth plate leading to any disformity. Please suggest. My son s height is 6 feet.
