Because pediatric patients are different from adults, management of pediatric injuries and general knee disorders is also often different. Primary treatment regimen goals focus on a return to the previous level of function, preservation of anatomy, and decreasing potential long-term effects. Long-term complications may include damage to the physis with resultant potential limb length discrepancy or deformity. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
