5. AOSSM-ISAKOS - Cased Based Panel with the Experts

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of medical professionals discuss two cases related to sports injuries. The first case involves a 25-year-old male football player with a grade 4 traumatic cartilage injury. The panel discusses the impact of the location and size of the lesion on return to sports and concludes that larger and more critical lesions are more likely to cause symptoms and breakdown of microfracture repair. The second case involves a 20-year-old male professional football player with an ACL tear. The panel discusses the importance of objective measurements, such as stress MRI and bone morphology evaluation, in assessing stability and making decisions about returning to play. They also discuss the use of lateral external tenodesis (LET) in certain cases. The panel agrees that a comprehensive approach, considering factors such as clinical examination, psychological status, and neuromuscular function, is crucial for making informed decisions about returning athletes to sports.
