Congenital aplasia of the anterior cruciate ligament. Report of a case in a seven-year-old girl.
A seven-year-old girl, whose right knee gave way, was found to have anterolateral instability of the joint associated with congenital aplasia of the anterior cruciate ligament. Instability was present in the final 30 degrees of extension, and has been controlled by a brace which prevented this movement.
