Explant taken out followed by a distal femoral repair

When reporting Knee joints, after trauma - especially history of a "pivot shift" type injury, always look at the lateral femoral condyle notch on the lateral view. This is a normal anatomy, but if the notch is elongated or >2mm deep, and especially if one sees evidence of a joint effusion extending into the suprapatellar extension of the joint capsule, one must consider an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury. There is a high incidence of association.
In hyperextension the ACL tears and the Lateral femoral condyle impinges on the posterior marin of the tibial condyle, which causes a subtle compression fracture of the Femoral notch.

not to ‘assume’ joint not involved, plastics may not take lower limb, if so ortho to explore/clean/close. good anesthesia/analgesia, saline wash, abx, x-ray and temp non-invasive closure to keep the distal flap perfused - all ed management

patient in late teens presenting after a collapse, no chest pain, no previous cardiac history, no history of sudden death in family, are there any features in this ekg that would warrant further work-up or is this just a pediatric ekg?
