Video Summary
The speaker discusses the evolution of ACL reconstructions in older patients. In the past, it was common for older individuals to be advised to quit their sport and wait for a total knee replacement. However, advancements in ACL techniques, graft selections, and rehabilitation schedules have made it possible for older athletes to continue participating in sports. The speaker presents the results of a study on ACL reconstructions in patients over 50, showing positive outcomes and high patient satisfaction. They emphasize the importance of considering physiologic age rather than chronological age when determining the eligibility for an ACL reconstruction.
