Video Summary

In this video, a panel discusses the treatment options for cartilage lesions in athletes. They present two case studies and discuss the radiographs and MRI scans for each patient. The first patient is a 27-year-old male with an osteochondral lesion in the medial femoral condyle. The panel agrees that alignment is important and an osteotomy should be considered. The preferred treatment option is osteochondral autograft. The second patient is a 16-year-old male with a large osteochondral lesion in the lateral femoral condyle. The panel suggests repairing the lesion using open surgery and bone grafting. They also discuss the use of headless screws for compression and the importance of follow-up and monitoring for any changes in the knee.
