AOSSM 2022 Annual Meeting Recordings - no CME-Q & A: The FORUM presents Hot Topics of the Knee and Shoulder

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a Q&A session after several presentations. The first question is about the role of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in hemarthrosis, to which Jocelyn responds that PRP with low white cell count could potentially have anti-inflammatory effects and help with cartilage health. The second question is about the J sign and its impact on decision-making for procedures. Dr. Jackie Brady mentions that there is still debate surrounding this, but the J sign can be an indicator for certain procedures. The third question is about the preference for acute operative AC joint injuries and the routine use of MRIs. Miriam O'Cahey explains that most of the time, acute AC joint injuries are treated non-operatively with physical therapy, but MRIs can be beneficial for identifying additional pathology. The fourth question concerns the use of regional anesthesia for surgeries and the potential side effects. The panelists discuss their use of regional anesthesia and their concerns of side effects like paresthesias. The final question is about the use of functional bracing for shoulders, to which the panelists unanimously agree that they do not use functional bracing. The video concludes by thanking the speakers and audience for their attendance. However, no specific names were mentioned for the speakers.
