Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in paediatric patients have become an increasingly recognised concern in sports medicine due to rising injury rates and the distinct challenges posed by growing skeletons. Recent trends indicate a higher incidence of ACL injuries in children and adolescents, particularly among those participating in high-risk sports such as soccer, basketball, and skiing. These injuries are unique in this population due to the ongoing development of both the knee joint and its surrounding ligaments, often leading to more complex injury patterns and treatment considerations. Paediatric ACL tears are frequently associated with growth plate involvement, which can complicate surgical interventions and post-injury management. Innovations in diagnostic imaging, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation protocols are improving outcomes for young patients. However, the management of ACL injuries in paediatric populations continues to spark debate, particularly regarding the optimal timing of surgical intervention. Recent studies emphasise a more conservative approach in select cases, prioritising non-operative management and rehabilitation strategies to allow for growth plate preservation. Conversely, others advocate for earlier surgical intervention to restore knee stability and prevent long-term complications such as osteoarthritis and recurrent injury. This evolving landscape highlights the need for personalised treatment strategies, accounting for factors such as age, skeletal maturity, sport participation, and overall health. Additionally, there is growing recognition of the importance of injury prevention programs, with a focus on neuromuscular training to reduce the risk of ACL injuries in paediatric athletes. Ongoing research is critical to refine best practices, improve rehabilitation protocols, and ultimately enhance the long-term outcomes of paediatric ACL injury management.
