Debate: Proximal Tibial Osteotomy- Supratubercle or Subtubercle? – Subtubercle

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the speaker argues for the use of sub-tubercle osteotomy in knee surgeries, specifically in reducing complications associated with tibial tuberosity detachment and patellar tendon impairment. The speaker presents several arguments in favor of sub-tubercle osteotomy, including easier surgical exposure, reduced risk of patellar tendon injury, larger proximal bone reserve for fixation, greater surface area for bone healing, easier placement of the tibial tunnel, lower risk of vicarotum deformity, and less technical difficulty. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the need for more studies and objective data to further support these arguments. No credits were mentioned in the video.
