Technique Spotlight Video: Meniscus RAMP Brought to you by APKASS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the LAMP (Lateral and Medial Posterior) region in relation to meniscus tail injuries. It emphasizes the difficulty in detecting this region using the anterior portal and highlights the importance of anterior visualization. The mechanism of the LAMP region is proposed to be the result of ASIA function loss, leading to increased anterior tibial translation and the wedging of the meniscus between the femur and tibia. The term "LAMP region" was first used by Dr. Strobel in 1988 and has since been further explored and described by other doctors. The video showcases a repair technique for the LAMP region using a trans-notch approach and an all-inside technique with suture holes.
