Video Summary

The video discusses a new innovation called bio-integrative rebar for subchondral reinforcement of the knee. The speaker explains that while cartilage replacement has been a focus, the bone plays a crucial role in load-related symptoms. The bio-integrative rebar aims to provide subchondral support and repair using a cannulated trimmable nail made of osteoconductive materials. A sheep study showed successful integration and bone replacement with the device. The surgical procedure involves drilling a hole and inserting the rebar, which has shown promising results in reducing pain and bone marrow edema. Further studies are planned to refine indications and evaluate long-term outcomes.
