The purpose of the work is the follow-up of the late results of management of children and adolescents with knee injuries. Arthroscopy was performed to 68 patients. Resection and suturing of the torn meniscus and ACL reconstruction were performed. The results were followed up to eight years after operations. It was shown, that meniscal tears in children should be treated conservatively in most cases. The suturing of the torn menisci is preferable method. Indications for suturing are wider in children that in adults. ACL reconstruction in young patients is unpredictable in its results.
