Q & A: Global All Stars of Arthroscopy I

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Sobov discusses the indications for using a patch and a spacer in surgical procedures. The patch is used when there is poor quality tendon on an MRI scan or when the tissue quality is poor during the repair. The patch helps to induce new vascularity in the affected area. The spacer is used in cases of preoperatively superiorly migrated shoulder with severe muscle atrophy to ensure proper biomechanics. The use of the spacer is considered off-label. The video then transitions to discussing knees, but no further details are provided. No credits were given.
