Video Summary
In this video, the speaker discusses a study on the management of hormonal contraceptives during the perioperative period for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The study surveyed members of the ANNA (American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine) regarding their management practices and awareness of the risks associated with hormonal contraceptives. The speaker highlights the increased risk of thromboembolic events when combined with ACL reconstruction, especially in younger female patients who are more likely to use these medications. The study found that there is no clear standard of care for managing hormonal contraceptives perioperatively and that surgeons' prior experiences and sex influence their approach. The speaker emphasizes the need for further research to determine appropriate management strategies for this patient population.
