Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear Following Operative Treatment of Pediatric Tibial Eminence Fractures in a Multicenter Cohort

Conclusions: Ipsilateral ACL tears following operatively treated pediatric tibial eminence fractures in a large multicenter cohort occurred at a rate of 2.6%. However, in those with at least 2 years of follow-up, the incidence was 21.7%. Subsequent ACL tear was more likely in those with completely displaced (type III or IV) tibial eminence fractures and older patients. Level of Evidence: Level III—retrospective cohort study.
