AOSSM 2022 Annual Meeting Recordings - no CME-Posterior Slope Reducing Osteotomy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the topic of ACL reconstruction and the role of bony alignment and anatomy in ACL failure. The speaker mentions the importance of posterior slope reduction as a developing area of interest in relation to recurrent ACL laxity in high-risk patients. Several studies and case examples are highlighted to support the notion that increasing posterior tibial slope can lead to abnormal stresses on the ACL and a higher rate of ACL failure. The speaker suggests considering slope reduction osteotomy for revision ACL cases with a slope greater than 12 degrees. They also discuss the options of opening or closing wedge osteotomy. No specific credits are mentioned.
