AOSSM 2022 Annual Meeting Recordings - no CME-Repair Do You Need the Scaffold

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the viability of suture-augmented ACL repair as an alternative to conventional ACL reconstruction. The speaker shares evidence supporting the use of suture-augmented repair, highlighting improvements in outcomes and reduced complications compared to previous techniques. The speaker presents data from studies on bioenhanced ACL repair, suture augmentation, and other scaffolds, demonstrating their effectiveness in preserving ligament function and promoting healing. The speaker also discusses a study they co-authored, which simulated different rehabilitation periods after ACL repair and found that the suture augment remained intact and properly loosened over time. The video concludes by emphasizing the need for further research on long-term outcomes and the impact on return to play. (No credits mentioned)
