The ESSKA and IOC have partnered to create the Paediatric Anterior Cruciate Ligament Monitoring Initiative (PAMI) to collect data and develop international treatment guidelines for children with ACL injuries.
The ESSKA PAMI project aims to create a pan-European registry to collect data on pediatric ACL injuries to improve evidence-based treatment and eventually propose international guidelines.
PAMI project history: what, how and whenIn this issue of KSSTA, we present the consensus paper recently organized by the International Olympic Committee, AOSSM, ISAKOS, SLARD, and ESSKA regarding the challenging issue of anterior cruciate injuries in children [1].This paper will help our members in their approach to these patients.The consensus paper, put together by 20 experts from all over the world after a Delphi process developed the 12 questions felt to be the most important in this field, highlights current solutions in these patients, although it is obvious that much knowledge is currently still lacking.There is at least 25% reinjuries or injuries involving the noninjured knee.Through the "PAMI" initiative, ESSKA and IOC aim to improve the situation.
