2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Q & A: ACL I

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of experts is discussing various topics related to knee injuries and surgeries. Dr. Lee talks about the role of the meniscus in post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) development and how both operated and contralateral knees show higher levels of cartilage degeneration compared to controls. Cassis discusses the earlier return to play in patients with quad autografts, attributing it to the stiffer biomechanical properties of the graft and patient confidence. Laura talks about patient satisfaction at 10 years and plans to track outcomes up to 20 years. She also mentions that subsequent surgeries, particularly meniscal repairs and ACL revisions, are the main factors influencing patient dissatisfaction. Emma mentions that substance abuse, including marijuana use, was not specifically addressed in their study on opioid addiction and ACL patients. The video concludes with the panel thanking the audience and moving on to the next session.
