Nerve Injuries in Multiligamentary Lesions Timing of Reconstruction in Rugby Players

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses nerve injuries in multiligamentary knees, particularly in collision athletes. They emphasize the importance of differentiating between complete and partial injuries, with complete injuries resulting in very limited functional recovery. The speaker presents a case study of a patient with a partial nerve injury and explains how they performed surgery and allowed the nerve to recover during the rehabilitation process. They also discuss the negative long-term effects of complete nerve injuries and suggest performing a posterior tibial transfer to improve gait. The video concludes with the speaker recommending early intervention, such as a posterior tibial transfer, for nerve injuries in multiligamentary knees.
