AOSSM 2023 Annual Meeting Recordings no CME-Discussion and Q & A

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a panel discussion on orthopedic surgery procedures, particularly focusing on distal femoral opening wedge osteotomy and joint line obliquity assessment. The panelists discuss the advantages and challenges of different osteotomy approaches, such as medial closing wedge osteotomy with periarticular locking plate and distal lateral femur opening. They also emphasize the importance of soft tissue balancing and individual patient factors in decision-making. The panelists suggest that for corrections under 10-12 degrees, a closing wedge may be a better option. They also explore the use of computer simulation in complex cases. The video concludes with a discussion on tibial slope-reducing osteotomy in revision ACL surgeries.
