Panel Discussion: An ISAKOS Perspective on Patellofemoral Pathology

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of orthopedic surgeons discuss various topics related to quad lengthening, knee flexion, and patellofemoral realignment. The surgeons mention that they don't always have to lengthen the rectus component of the quad, but when they do, they try to approximate the tendon ends together when the knee is at about 60 degrees of flexion. They also discuss the importance of reconstructing the lateral patella retinaculum and when to consider distalization osteotomy. They touch on topics such as patella alta, MPFL reconstruction, and femur derotation osteotomy. The panel members share their perspectives and experiences on these subjects. No credits were mentioned.
