Abstract

In general, it is better to review the history before review of advancements. This chapter would discuss the history of knee ligament injuries in children prior to 1990, with focus on ACL injuries. As arthroscopy evolved, so did the diagnosis of ligament injuries in children, and soon “arthroscopy” became the diagnostic tool of choice for patients with traumatic hemarthrosis. Knee instability and their consequences were recognized, and attempts were made to repair the ACL. Failures led to abandonment of repair techniques, and ACL reconstruction techniques were developed. The chapter is a timeline of evolution of diagnosis and management of ligament/ACL injuries in children.
