Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Volker discusses the topic of correcting the slope in ACL reconstructions. He shares his experience with slope osteotomy and explains the differences in procedures. He presents two cases, one with three failed ACL reconstructions and another with two failed reconstructions and a collapsed medial joint. Dr. Volker demonstrates a step-by-step approach to performing the osteotomy and emphasizes the importance of protecting the patella tendon throughout the procedure. He also discusses post-operative care and outcomes for these complex cases. Overall, correcting the slope is a technically demanding procedure, but it can provide stability and radiographic correction in salvage cases with multiple ACL failures.
