Description
Tuyishime and colleagues present in 2026, as conference poster 51, a cadaver anatomy study of lateral extra-articular tenodesis in children's ligament reconstructions. It asks whether the reinforcing band can be anchored without damaging the thigh bone's growth plate. The usual landmarks sit uncomfortably close to that plate in growing knees.
Seven skeletally immature cadaver knees, ages eight to sixteen, were dissected and X-rayed with pins marking the two candidate anchor origins. The anterolateral ligament's origin sat on average only about one and a half millimeters beyond the growth plate, and in one specimen right at it. The lateral collateral ligament's origin averaged about five millimeters clear. Both origins were also close to each other, with variable front-to-back ordering between specimens. The authors conclude the anterolateral landmark is consistently the riskier anchor point near the plate.
