Abstract

This is a case of a tibial growth arrest that occurred after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a transepiphyseal tunnel done at age 12. This resulted in LLD, varus, and recurvatum deformity. We describe this case and the correction using distraction osteogenesis in conjunction with a Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) (Smith & Nephew Inc, Memphis,Tennessee, USA) using the Ilizarov method.
