AOSSM 2023 Annual Meeting Recordings no CME-Q & A: Meniscus II

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a discussion between Dr. Amendola and other experts on the topic of treating asymptomatic meniscal deficiency in young patients. Dr. Amendola advises that if a young patient with valgus knees has undergone a lateral meniscectomy, it is recommended to have a meniscal transplant to prevent degenerative change. For patients with a normal aligned knee, rehabilitation and monitoring for swelling, pain, and symptoms with activity is advised. Follow-up evaluations and imaging may be done at six months or one year, and if symptoms persist, a meniscal transplant may be recommended. The experts also discuss the importance of lateral meniscus deficiency and factors to consider when treating meniscus tears. The video concludes with thanks to the speakers and details of the upcoming session. No credits are mentioned in the transcript. (144 words)
