AOSSM 2023 Annual Meeting Recordings no CME-Q & A: Scratching the Surface: Knee Cartilage I

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video transcript, the speaker discusses the correlation between imaging and clinical scores in patients with arthritis. They found that MRI variables typically correlate well with the clinical scores, specifically the KUS subscale. However, they also discovered that some patients with bad arthritis had good patient-reported outcomes, indicating a discrepancy between imaging findings and patient experiences. The speaker also discusses the implementation of a psych evaluation for patients undergoing surgery, which has helped in decision-making and patient selection. Barriers identified in the evaluation process include chronic pain, prior psych history, and socioeconomic status. Another speaker shares their experience with a similar procedure, MACI, and discusses the durability and success rate of the procedure in Madrid, Spain. Finally, the speaker answers a question about the correlation between mobility and MRI findings, mentioning that while some radiographic and MRI characteristics were examined, they were not as predictive as demographic and physical exam findings. The next step is to analyze MRI results alongside the other factors. The video ends with the speaker expressing gratitude to all the presenters and moving on to the next session.
