Treatment options recommended in literature based on bone age

S.No	Author/year	Age at which this procedure recommended	Techniques details	Comment
1	Micheli–Kocher/2005	6 years	Intra-articular and extra-articular iliotibial band reconstruction (Modified MacIntosh) with functionally control rotation	Avoid physeal tunnels; important consideration in younger patients
2	Anderson/2003	8 years	All-epiphyseal procedure; quadrupled hamstring graft tensioned across epiphyseal tunnels in the distal femur and proximal tibia. Femoral fixation with cortical button and tibial fixation with screw and post construct	Extra-physeal, but requires extra-osseous tensioning of the graft across the tibial physis
3	Ganley–Lawrence/2010	10 years	All-epiphyseal docking procedure; Fixation done using interference screws in epiphysis	Extra-physeal. Tunnels and fixation within both femur and tibial epiphysis
4	Willson/2018	12 years	Partial transphyseal (Hybrid)reconstruction; with an all-epiphyseal femoral tunnel and transphyseal tibial tunnel	Keep tibia tunnel in centre. Growth disturbance may occur as tibial physis is violated
5	Kocher/2007	14 years or more	Transphyseal reconstruction; tunnel placement and fixation across both femur and tibial physis	Like adult’s reconstruction using soft-tissue autografts
