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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel is taking questions from the audience regarding various topics related to osteotomy. The first question addresses why younger age and military duty may be predictive factors for a higher risk of failure or medical separation after surgery. The panel discusses how younger military members may have more physically demanding duties, while older members may have more desk-related duties. Another question asks about the alignment of cadavers before surgery, and the panel confirms that any significant varus or valgus deformity was excluded in their study. They also discuss the possibility of correcting both valgus deformity from the femur and tibia, depending on the severity. Other questions address the measurement of tibial slope, the impact of posterolateral impaction injury on meniscus pathology, the terminology of distal femoral osteotomy versus high tibial osteotomy, the clinical significance of lateral posterior tibial slope in relation to meniscus tears, and the potential effects of altering knee mechanics on other parts of the body. The panel concludes that more research is needed to fully understand these topics. No credits were granted in the video.
