2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Q & A: Pediatrics and the Adolescent Athlete I

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of doctors and researchers discuss various topics related to pediatric orthopedics. Dr. Shi discusses the use of different types of grafts for skeletally immature patients, stating that bone quad tendon and hamstring grafts are used, while IT band grafts are excluded. The selection of grafts is based on consensus between surgeons, families, and patients, with no consideration for the patient's future sports involvement. Dr. Featherall talks about the application of his Schottles point study in clinical practice, suggesting that lateral radiographs can be trusted to determine the proximal location of the medial physis. Dr. Shiga discusses the low return to sport rates with hamstring grafts, attributing this to hamstring weakness. Dr. Serban briefly mentions findings from his study on revision surgeries, including repeat scopes, labral procedures, and PAO surgeries.
