Video Summary

The video discusses the diagnosis and treatment options for a specific type of knee injury called the lateral meniscus oblique radial tear (LMART). The speaker explains that LMART tears, which commonly occur alongside ACL injuries, have biomechanical importance and can lead to increased instability in the knee. The speaker then presents different treatment options, including leaving the tear alone, debriding it, or repairing it. They recommend an all-inside repair technique that involves anatomic reduction, biologic preparation, and circumferential compression. The speaker also discusses the importance of identifying and preserving the "kickstand fragment" and emphasizes the high healing rate and positive clinical outcomes of LMART repairs.
