2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Decision Making in the Setting of Bone Loss

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the issue of critical bone loss in young populations, particularly in contact athletes. They explain that bone loss amplifies the risks of instability in children and young athletes, and discuss the different types of bone loss. They mention studies that have looked at the threshold for critical bone loss and its impact on recurrence rates after arthroscopic stabilization. They also explore the concept of on-track and off-track lesions, and discuss the use of the REM plisage procedure for high-risk patients with on-track lesions. The speaker also compares different surgical options, including arthroscopic Vanguard, open Vanguard, and Latter Jay procedures. They highlight the importance of considering the risk-benefit profile and recurrence rates when selecting the most appropriate surgical option. The video concludes with a treatment algorithm and mention of an ongoing multicenter trial that aims to shed more light on the gray zone scenarios in the treatment of critical bone loss.
