2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-ACL Reconstruction: What are We Getting Right and Wrong

ACL Reconstruction: What are We Getting Right and Wrong

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the speaker discusses ACL reconstruction and the current issues and successes in the field. They mention that ACL injuries are common, with 200,000 occurring each year in the US alone. The goal of ACL reconstruction is to create a stable knee and return athletes to their sports while preventing further injuries and graft failure. However, high failure rates and post-traumatic arthritis still exist. The speaker suggests intervention in areas such as prevention programs, individualized considerations for patients, new techniques and equipment, graph choices, and factors like posterior tibial slope and meniscus injuries. They also emphasize the need for further research to improve ACL reconstruction outcomes. The video is credited to an unidentified speaker at the AOSSM conference.
