2024 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Concurrent Session A: Osteotomy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this session, experts from around the world discussed various corrective osteotomy techniques for addressing knee alignment issues. The discussion revolved around complex cases, particularly focusing on isolated instances of elevated tibial slopes and failed ACL reconstructions.<br /><br />Dr. Alfred Mansour presented a detailed technique for infratubercle closing wedge osteotomy, useful for extreme posterior tibial slope cases. His approach involves careful periosteal dissection and precision in creating the osteotomy, ensuring flexibility and facilitating rigid fixation with plates and interfragmentary screws.<br /><br />Dr. Anil Ranawat discussed using Patient-Specific Instrumentation (PSI) to improve accuracy in osteotomies. He emphasized that PSI allows for precise preoperative planning, verifying the angles and ensuring proper placement of cuts and drills, significantly aiding in slope correction to restore normal knee function.<br /><br />Dr. Travis Maak's talk highlighted the practical nuances between closing wedge and opening wedge osteotomies for valgus deformities. He shared insights on utilizing closing wedges for strength and considering limb length discrepancies which can influence the choice between medial and lateral side osteotomies.<br /><br />A case panel discussion featuring experts like Dr. Volker Musahl, Dr. Alan Getgood, and others, deliberated on specific scenarios requiring these corrective techniques. They analyzed cases illustrating the importance of posterior tibial slope correction, considerations for slope reduction, valgus osteotomies, and ACL reconstruction strategies, emphasizing comprehensive patient evaluation and tailored surgical approaches.<br /><br />The session underscored leveraging advanced technologies and strategic planning in osteotomy procedures to optimize patient outcomes, balance alignment, and stability, laying a robust framework for future surgical enhancements and patient-specific customization in orthopedic treatments.
