Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a specific type of knee injury called the lateral meniscus oblique radial tear (LMORT). They explain that this tear is often overlooked and has a significant impact on knee stability. The speaker discusses the biomechanics of the tear and compares different treatment options, including leaving it, debriding it, or repairing it. They emphasize the importance of anatomic reduction, biologic preparation, and circumferential compression in repairing the tear. The speaker also mentions the need to identify a fragment called the kickstand fragment and discusses the importance of maintaining normal stability through intrameniscal fixation. They share that these repairs have a high healing rate and excellent clinical outcomes.
