Video Transcription

Video Summary

The "Solid as a Rock: Make the Right Choices for OCD Management" session included discussions on the treatment and management of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), primarily focusing on osteochondral allograft transplantation. Dr. Crystal Perkins presented data on pediatric patients with unstable OCDs of the capitellum, demonstrating favorable outcomes with osteochondral allograft transplants, highlighting high return-to-sport rates and improved patient-reported outcomes. Dr. Phil Wilson supported these findings with similar research from his institution, emphasizing the benefits of fresh lateral femoral condyle grafts and successful sports return rates.<br /><br />Further discussions by Dr. Henry Ellis analyzed the characteristics of unsalvageable OCD lesions in pediatric knees, suggesting that older age, male sex, and displaced lesions significantly influence the decision for unsalvageable techniques. Dr. Michael Klug presented findings on the association between mechanical axis alignment and OCD lesion locations, advocating for the inclusion of lower extremity alignment films in the radiographic workup.<br /><br />Technical spotlights were provided on surgical techniques for OCD fixation. Dr. Stephanie Meyer detailed arthroscopic methods for screw fixation of femoral condyle OCDs, emphasizing precise screw placement to ensure successful outcomes. Dr. Paul Saliwan shared different approaches for elbow OCD reconstruction using osteochondral allografts, and Dr. Kendall Bradley presented suture bridge fixation techniques for patellar OCDs, highlighting its simplicity and effectiveness.<br /><br />In summary, the session showcased advancements in OCD management with a focus on osteochondral allograft transplantation, offering insights into surgical techniques, patient outcomes, and biomechanical considerations.
