AOSSM 2022 Annual Meeting Recordings - no CME-Q & A: Cartilage I

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of experts is answering questions related to surgical techniques for the treatment of osteochondral lesions. The first question is about the use of continuous sutures or separate sutures in the technique. The expert explains that separate sutures are generally used, with two strands from each anchor. The second question is about the formation of cysts from drilling deep with the anchors. The expert mentions that they haven't observed any cysts, except in cases where a preserved cartilage fragment meets exposed cancellous bone. The expert also discusses the absence of effusion reaction or long-term symptoms from vicral sutures. They mention that more follow-up is needed to determine long-term viability. The advantages of the suture bridge technique over traditional compression screw fixation are also discussed, particularly when dealing with osteochondral fragments. The mechanism of failure and the potential role of factors like sex mismatch and immune response are briefly mentioned, with the need for further research. The video concludes by mentioning the next speaker on patella-femoral joint. No credits are mentioned.
