Video Summary

In this video, the speaker, a PGY-4 at Yale, discusses the relationship between meniscus tears and ACL ligament reconstruction. The speaker focuses on the risk of getting an ACL reconstruction after having a meniscus tear, rather than the risk of getting a meniscus tear after an ACL reconstruction. The purpose of the study is to investigate the timing, incidence, and risk of subsequent ipsilateral ACL reconstruction after meniscus surgery. The study analyzed over 106,000 meniscus surgeries using CPT and ICD-10 codes. The findings suggest that prior medial bucket handle meniscus tears increase the risk of future ipsilateral ACL injury. The study emphasizes the importance of considering prior isolated meniscus surgery as a potential risk factor for ACL reconstruction. (No credits mentioned)
