Video Summary
Dr. Volker advocates for the "over-the-top" ACL reconstruction technique in young athletes, highlighting its femoral physis-sparing advantage. Developed in 1998, this method avoids femoral tunnel drilling by routing the graft over the lateral femoral condyle, reducing tunnel misplacement and revision risk. It uses hamstring or quadriceps grafts, preserves the tendon stump, and involves minimal incisions, resulting in faster surgery with less fluoroscopy. The technique is cost-effective, anatomically sound, and supported by outcome data. Volker emphasizes sustainability and efficiency in surgery, positioning over-the-top as a superior, safer option for pediatric ACL repair.
