Abstract
(Sport)Injuries of ACL, meniscus and joint cartilage are the major indications for knee arthroscopy in children and adolescents. Arthroscopy is only able to confirm preoperative clinical diagnosis in case of ACL tears, patellar dislocation and osteochondritis dissecans whereas there is not sufficient clinical certainty in diagnosing lesions of meniscus and cartilage.
