Bilateral Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with All-Inside Technique for Adolescent: A Review of the Literature and Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Simultaneous bilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are rare, especially in the pediatric population, with very limited evidence. We aimed to review the current literature and present a case study of an adolescent patient who underwent bilateral reconstruction with hamstrings autograft in a single-stage with a partial transphyseal "all-inside" technique. Literature Review: The limited evidence reports that the incidence of growth disturbance following ACL reconstruction in the skeletally immature is 2.6% with no significant difference between a partial transphyseal and an all-epiphyseal technique. Regarding graft choice in the skeletally immature, no significant difference has been found in function using hamstrings versus bone-to-bone patella autograft. The all-inside technique has shown good outcomes in the skeletally immature with no cases of growth disturbance observed in the literature reviewed. Patients spend less days in hospital and return to sport sooner following simultaneous reconstruction versus staged. Case Report: A 15-year-old male footballer underwent simultaneous reconstruction of bilateral ACL ruptures through a partial transphyseal "all-inside" technique with hamstrings autografts. He began physiotherapy according to local protocol and was discharged from hospital on Day 4 post-operative. He returned to competitive sports 11 months postoperatively with no intraoperative or post-operative complications. Conclusion: This case suggests that bilateral simultaneous ACL reconstruction is a safe management strategy in the rare case of bilateral ruptures in the skeletally immature, which adds to the evidence base. The number of required hospital stays was reduced and there was return to sport in a comparative time frame to unilateral ACL reconstruction rehabilitation.
