Compared with the situation that adults started early and developed fully, children's sports injury is still in its infancy. Children are not a simple epitome of adults, and there are many controversial issues in diagnosis and treatment. In the adolescent patients with ACL rupture, because of the high incidence of serious complications of delayed surgery, the therapeutic effect of reconstruction is recognized, and it is advocated to complete the surgery as soon as possible in the world. However, because of the risk of epiphyseal injury of reconstruction surgery in China, there is still a lot of controversy about whether to actively operate at present There is no consistent conclusion on the details of operation, postoperative rehabilitation program, evaluation of safety and effect of operation. Up to now, no guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of ACL injuries in children and adolescents have been published, no matter at home or abroad. Emergency physicians, pediatric orthopedics or sports injury physicians, nurses, physical trainers, rehabilitation physicians and other medical professionals are lack of relevant diagnosis and treatment guidelines Government departments and health policy makers also lack of corresponding reference. Therefore, it is urgent to conduct a systematic review of ACL injuries in children and adolescents and establish standardized guidelines for diagnosis and treatment.
