Video Summary

In this video, Steve DeFrota from the University of Missouri explains a research study on pre- and post-operative patient management for osteochondral and meniscal allograft transplantation in the knee. The study aimed to reduce post-operative failure rates by utilizing an integrated team approach. They incorporated a health behavior psychologist in the assessment of patients to optimize their adherence to the rehab protocol. The study found that patients who had the psychological evaluation had a significantly lower non-adherence rate compared to those who didn't. Adherent patients were three times more likely to have successful outcomes. The study highlights the importance of pre-operative education and post-operative support in improving patient outcomes following these complex transplant procedures.
