Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video case presented, the panel of experts discussed various treatment options for different scenarios of ACL injuries. The first case involved a 16-year-old football player with an ACL tear and a grade 3 MCL injury. The panel recommended immediate surgery due to the severity of the injuries. In the second case, a 18-year-old gymnast with a history of a BTB autograft ACL reconstruction presented with a re-rupture. The experts recommended an ipsilateral BTB autograft revision ACL reconstruction with additional lateral procedure. Finally, a 24-year-old former gymnast with previous ACL surgery and a fixed flexion deformity was discussed. The panel suggested performing a slope correction with an augmentation procedure such as an LET to address rotational instability and achieve optimal functional outcomes. The experts emphasized the importance of considering individual patient factors, performing thorough evaluations, and selecting appropriate surgical interventions based on the specific needs of each case.
