AOSSM 2023 Annual Meeting Recordings no CME-Lower Extremity Injury, Treatment and Return to Sport

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses various lower extremity injuries and their treatments. They mention that hip abductor tendinosis and tears can often be managed with physical therapy, and cortisone injections may not be the most effective treatment. Hamstring avulsions, although not common, can be fixed through surgery and have a relatively quick recovery time. The speaker also mentions the use of hip scopes, labral repairs, and FAI surgery for hip injuries, noting that their efficacy may vary in aging athletes. Quad and patellar tendon tears are quite common, especially in aging athletes, and may require suture anchors for repair. The video also discusses patellofemoral arthritis and the option of a patellofemoral replacement for treatment. The speaker mentions the use of bioplasty as a potential treatment for early arthritis. They also touch on gastroc tears and Achilles tears, which can occur with minimal trauma, and provide treatment options. Lastly, the video briefly covers Achilles tendinosis, tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis, outlining the conservative treatment methods for these conditions. No credits were given in the transcript.
