AOSSM 2022 Annual Meeting Recordings - no CME-Q & A: Pediatrics and the Adolescent Athlete II

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, several questions are asked by viewers regarding surgical techniques and procedures. The first question is about addressing lateral tilt on pre-op MRI scans, to which the speaker suggests that the exam and under anesthesia are more important indicators. If the condition is deemed tight, a lateral lengthening procedure can be done through the same incision. Another question asks about the coexistence of vertical and anatomical femoral cytotunnels. The speaker explains that by adjusting the drilling angle, it is possible to maintain the center of the tunnel footprint while making it slightly more vertical. Another technique called a hybrid trans-tibial technique is also mentioned. There is also discussion about using an LET for the MPFL, although some surgeons have not yet adopted it routinely. Finally, isometry of the graft is addressed, with the speaker explaining that tension is set with the knee flexed before marking the graft. The video concludes with thanks and a reminder to move on to the next sessions. No credits were mentioned.
