Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are occurring in skeletally immature athletes with increasing rate. Different surgical treatments are proposed and the percentage of ACL surgery is on the rise in this specific population. Multiple variables should be considered during ACL post-operative evaluation in skeletally immature patients. Readiness to return to sport depends not only on painfree ROM and muscular rehabilitation: growth arrest, proprioception and psychological aspects are essential factors that requires a specific measurement in the post-operative follow-up. New rehabilitation protocols, pediatric functional knee scoring measures and neuromuscular control test are being established. The aim of this work was to present an up-to-date about rehabilitation, functional evaluation, pediatric patient-reported outcome measures and return to play in children and adolescent after ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are occurring in skeletally immature athletes with increasing rate. Different surgical treatments are proposed and the percentage of ACL surgery is on the rise in this specific population. Multiple variables should be considered during ACL post-operative evaluation in skeletally immature patients. Readiness to return to sport depends not only on painfree ROM and muscular rehabilitation: growth arrest, proprioception and psychological aspects are essential factors that requires a specific measurement in the post-operative follow-up. New rehabilitation protocols, pediatric functional knee scoring measures and neuromuscular control test are being established. The aim of this work was to present an up-to-date about rehabilitation, functional evaluation, pediatric patient-reported outcome measures and return to play in children and adolescent after ACL reconstruction.
