Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Jeff Nepple from Washington University in St. Louis discusses all epiphyseal ACL reconstruction for pediatric ACL injuries. He explains that the treatment of pediatric ACLs has changed over time, with a shift towards addressing instability in young active individuals. There are various treatment options available, including intra-articular and extra-articular approaches. Dr. Nepple prefers all epiphyseal reconstruction due to its anatomical ACL positioning and low re-tear rates. He also discusses the importance of understanding a patient's maturation stage when considering treatment options. He provides technical details of the all epiphyseal reconstruction procedure, including femoral and tibial tunnel placement. The video concludes by highlighting the successful outcomes of this approach. No credits were provided in the video.
