Résumé
Managing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in skeletally immature patients remains difficult. The main aim of this study was to retrospectively compile normative data on the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the semitendinosus tendon (ST) and the diameter of the ACL in children and young adults. Knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed for a 2-year period in 132 patients (83 female and 49 male patients). The mean age was 14.9 years (8-18 years). Measurements of the ST CSA were performed on axial views in greyscale by two independent researchers. The ACL diameter was measured as well. The results show the CSA of the ST was related to age, and its growth was not linear. The highest growth rate of the CSA of the ST occurred at age 12-13 at the level of the femoral growth plate and at the level of the tibial plateau. The growth of the ACL diameter was linear until 18 years of age. ST growth (measured in CSA increments) is almost complete at the age of 13, even though the growth is not linear. ACL growth measured in diameter increments proceeds linearly from 8 to 18 years of age. MRI is a clinically useful tool for assessing hamstring tendon grafts preoperatively. Level III, diagnostic studies.
