Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the use of the periodist's longest tendon autograft as a promising option for ACL reconstruction. They explain that graft selection is crucial for achieving a strong connection between the graft and bone, and the periodist's longest tendon shows favorable results in initial studies. The speaker then describes a study comparing the clinical outcomes and donor site morbidity of ACL reconstructions using hamstring tendon autografts and periodist's longest autografts. They demonstrate the surgical technique for obtaining the periodist's longest tendon autograft and highlight the importance of avoiding complications such as peroneal nerve injury and reduced aversion. The results show that the periodist's longest autograft has comparable functional scores to hamstring tendon autografts but with less donor-site morbidity. The speaker concludes that the use of the periodist's longest autograft in primary ACL reconstruction is safe and yields excellent outcomes.
