Video Summary

In this video, Seth discusses the topic of NPFL (nipple) reconstruction for patellofemoral instability. He explains that for most cases, isolated NPFL reconstruction is sufficient. He outlines the surgical aspects, such as when and how to perform the procedure, the risk for failure, and the choice of graft. Seth emphasizes the importance of diagnosing instability versus pain through imaging techniques. He also discusses different scenarios that may require surgery, like osteochondral fractures and loose bodies. Seth suggests that NPFL reconstruction is effective in many cases, with allograft being a viable option. He concludes by mentioning considerations for tubercle transfers and trochleoplasties in severe cases. No credits are given.
