Video Summary

In this video transcript, the speaker summarizes the findings of a ligament revision study. The study enrolled 1,234 patients from 2006 to 2011 who had undergone revision ACL surgery. The study was conducted at 52 sites with the participation of 83 surgeons, and 55% of the surgeons were in private practice. The study had a two-year follow-up with additional six-year and 10-year follow-ups. The study aimed to determine predictors of clinical outcomes using multivariate analysis. The study found that graft re-rupture was 3.3% at two years and 5.8% at six years, with allografts having a higher risk compared to autografts. Other factors affecting outcomes included surgeon choice, age, femoral malpositioning, BMI, and previous injuries. The study also found that being active in sports post-surgery had mixed effects on outcomes. Overall, the study provides valuable information on the success rates and factors influencing outcomes in revision ACL surgery. The speaker credits the Scientific Advisory Board, the participating surgeons, and the study coordinators for their contributions to the study. The speaker also mentions ongoing data collection in two related studies, called Rover and Mars, that are expected to lead to new scientific discoveries and improved outcomes in ACL surgery. No credits were given in the video.
