2023 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Q & A: Meniscus I

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of experts is answering questions from the audience about returning to high-impact activities after surface implant surgery and meniscal transplants. The recommendation for the new surface implant is to avoid high-impact activities to prevent overstressing the implant, although there have been cases of patients engaging in such activities with success. On the other hand, for meniscal transplants, it is recommended not to return to high knee demanding sports, as the transplants act as temporary spacers that deteriorate over time. The experts also discuss fractures and reoperation rates associated with these procedures, as well as the potential use of biomarkers for clinical decision-making.
