AOSSM 2022 Annual Meeting Recordings - no CME-Q & A: SLARD: Sports Specific Lower Extremity Injuries

Video Transcription

We got some time for questions because Dr. Ortega didn't make it and maybe if someone wants to make any and if not I will ask Lucio. Do you have a role on biologics on the hamstring  injury in elite athletes?  But if you do, you would like it or you think that it's...  Matias, do you have any thoughts about that?  If you are a guest, I don't know if it's one week or another time. I think it depends on the place.  Ok. Manu, do you have anything to say? Something to say, Manuel? No, the same as Matias. I mean, that patient is...  Ok. What are your thoughts of who of your military people do PCL in an acute setting? In the military population, when you do a PCL reconstruction in an acute setting?  The great three patients with minor injuries are our locations.  What we want to do and what we have to do. As I said, we treat them on purpose.  Do you have any, Lucio, role for PCL in acute setting in the football players?  What are you doing in this kind of players? We have professional soccer players in PCL. It's quite rare in the soccer player setting.  I have a professional, sorry. In no professional cases, I have a few. One in grade 1 and grade 2. We just treat them normally.  Matias, you have described a lot of different type of procedures in cartilage lesions. So, Rick, you got any clue for how to return them to sports?  Even there are so many different... What are your key feelings about how do they return to sports and what are your measures in cartilage lesions?  You seek MRI. What do you do?  What technique do you use to return to sport? Generally, we think that pain is clinically very important to return.  MRI is a standard image to see how is the post-op or it depends on the technique. Because if you do just a tracheostomy and X-rays, you can see better than MRI.  So, functional test is very important to decide when you return to sports.  Quick question about... You mentioned early PTT transfer for complete nerve injuries. How early were you thinking? Three months.  This is a little cohort of a bigger one. So, we got a lot of other guys also. But I tend to do it quite early because, as I mentioned,  it's better to have the rehab, the multi-regulatory knee early. So, if it's complete, I do it three months or even earlier.  Ok.  Wow. If you don't have any more questions, you can move on.
