2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Q & A: Foot and Ankle II

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, a discussion takes place regarding examination anesthesia for Liz Frank injured athletes. The focus is on gaining patient buy-in and deciding whether to take them to the operating room for a stress test or cast them immediately. It is suggested that buy-in is mainly necessary for high-level athletes who need a quick return to the field, and the stability of the injury should be determined early. Chronic ankle injuries are also discussed, including the presence of calcification and potential treatment options. Arthroscopy is mentioned as a helpful tool, particularly in cases where stability has not been addressed early. The importance of preventing further damage to the lateral tibio-taylor joint is emphasized. The video concludes with gratitude to the speakers and an invitation for questions. No specific credits were given.
