Kinematic Analysis of Lateral Meniscus Oblique Radial Tears in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructed Knees: Untreated versus Repair versus Partial Meniscectomy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the speaker presents their work on a specific knee injury called the Elmort lesion, which is a tear in the lateral meniscus commonly seen with ACL injuries. They conducted a study categorizing these lesions and found that type three and type four tears were most common in ACL tears. The speaker then discusses the biomechanical importance of these lesions and presents the results of their study. They found that these lesions increased instability in the knee and meniscal extrusion. However, when they repaired the tears, stability and meniscal function were restored. They concluded that these lesions should be fixed in combination with ACL reconstruction.
