2023 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Debate: Proximal Tibial or Distal Femoral for Valgus Knee

Debate: Proximal Tibial or Distal Femoral for Valgus Knee – Proximal Tibial

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the benefits of tibia-based osteotomies for the treatment of valgus knee deformities. The speaker argues that tibia-based osteotomies have higher healing rates, are more versatile, and are biomechanically sound compared to other types of osteotomies. They suggest that deformity analysis is important to determine the source of the deformity, as not all valgus deformities are caused by the femur. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of maintaining an ideal joint line and balanced flexion-extension gap. They conclude by stating that while there are roles for all types of osteotomies, tibia-based osteotomies are a strong option. No credits were mentioned in the video.
