AOSSM 2022 Annual Meeting Recordings - no CME-LET

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis (LET) procedure for treating young patients at high risk of ACL graft tear or failure. The speaker mentions studies showing high failure rates in young athletes returning to sports after ACL tear. The LET procedure involves using a graft to provide additional stability to the knee and reduce the risk of failure. Various fixation options are discussed, including the use of a staple, interference screw, or anchor. The speaker advocates for using a double loaded suture anchor due to its effectiveness and minimal prominence. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of considering the biomechanical loads on the LET and understanding the various fixation options.
