Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses a study on the importance of long-segment radiographs in evaluating the complex deformities of failed ACL reconstructions. They measured the posterior tibial slope using both short-segment and long-segment radiographs and found that there were significant differences between the two measurements. They concluded that long-segment radiographs more accurately evaluate the deformities and recommend obtaining them for revision ACL patients. However, they acknowledge that their study has limitations and more research is needed in this area. This summary is based on the transcript of the video. No credits were mentioned.
