Technique Spotlight Video: Osteochondral Allograft Resurfacing of the Patella

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides a discussion on the technique of patellar osteochondral allografts. The presenter emphasizes the importance of matching the width and length of the patella and the articular cartilage when selecting grafts. The surgical approach is lateral, with a focus on achieving patellar eversion. The video demonstrates the process of creating an imprint to ensure proper graft size, as well as the steps to harvest and place the graft. The presenter also discusses the importance of improving graft integration and performs a final press fit. The video concludes with considerations for graft selection and the presenter's algorithm for patellofemoral joint treatment. No credits were mentioned.
