AOSSM 2023 Annual Meeting Recordings no CME-Q & A: Rotator Cuff I

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speakers, Sam and JT, discuss the use of autografts in tendon samples. Connie Chu from Stanford asks about the viability and benefits of using autografts. JT agrees that the tenosites need further analysis in terms of metabolic activity. He explains that while there may be some issues with the autografts dying and then getting revascularized, the process of creating the patch does not seem to damage them. JT also mentions the long history of successful tendon grafts and the advantage of autografts being free. Another speaker, Dr. Kelly, asks about using the biceps as an autograft for massive cuffs, to which JT responds that different populations require different approaches. The video concludes by thanking the presenters and urging to stay on time. No credits were mentioned.
