  Author(s): Damien Marmouset*, Alves A, Laurent R, Kabbaj R, Vialle R and Bachy Razzouk M
  
  Introduction: The ruptures of the anterior cross ligament are increasing in the child. The risk of minuscular injury and premature arthrosis degradation, therefore, explain the evolution of ligamentoplasty in the growing child. The GnRB device is used in clinical practice in the preoperative evaluation of anterior cross ligament ruptures in adults and in the postoperative assessment of ligamentoplasties. The child has an evolutionary intrinsic peripheral laxity with growth. The objective of this study is to analyze anterior tibial translational physiology in a healthy population of children to obtain reference values and to assist in the analysis of the pre-or post-operative assessment of past cross ligament ruptures in a growing child. Material and Methods: 60 children under the age of 15 were included in this monocentri.. View More»
