Video Summary

In this video, a PGY-4 at Yale presents research on the relationship between prior isolated meniscus surgery and future ACL ligament reconstruction. The presenter explains that previous studies have focused on the risk of meniscus tears after ACL reconstruction, but their study aimed to determine the risk of ACL reconstruction after a meniscus tear. Using Pearl Diver software, they analyzed data from over 106,000 meniscus surgeries and found that individuals with prior medial bucket handle tear had a significantly elevated risk of future ipsilateral ACL injury. The study concludes that isolated bucket handle meniscus tears are rare but can increase the risk of ACL reconstruction.
