AOSSM 2023 Annual Meeting Recordings no CME-ACL Physiologic Reconstruction with Hamstring

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a biomechanical approach to ACL reconstruction, focusing on the positioning of the ACL femoral anatomic point. They mention the anti-remedial technique, also known as the anatomic technique, which allows for better femoral access and non-linear tunnel design compared to the classic trans-tibial technique. The speaker presents a comparative study between the anti-remedial technique and the modified trans-tibial technique, analyzing the resulting force vector and maximum resistance prior to failure. The study concludes that the non-linear tunnel design increases the risk of graft failure. The speaker also shares their clinical experience with a 91% return to sport rate in ACL reconstruction using the technique. While the study has limitations, it provides a contribution to understanding the biomechanical aspects of the surgical techniques. No credits are mentioned in the transcript.
