Zusammenfassung:	We present the case of twin brothers with open physes who practiced judo to a high level and were operated on the same day for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. One of them was injured a year before surgery, and the other was injured a month before the procedure. The brother who chose to undergo a conservative treatment sustained meniscus injury afterwards and showed lower objective results when evaluated 5 years after surgery.
