Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses patella-femoral instability options. They mention that patellar dislocations gained attention in 2019 when Patrick Mahomes experienced one and the world witnessed the injury and reduction. The incidence of patellar dislocations is high in sports, with 60% occurring in this context. Osteochondral injuries and MPFL injuries are commonly associated with patellar dislocations. Various risk factors for recurrence are identified, such as trochlear dysplasia, patella alta, skeletal immaturity, and a history of contralateral dislocation. Non-operative treatment is a good option for low-risk patients, but surgery may be necessary for those who fail non-operative treatment or have certain risk factors. The speaker discusses different surgical options available, such as MPFL repair or reconstruction and tibial tubercle osteotomy. The importance of careful examination, assessment of risk factors, and early intervention is emphasized to prevent further complications.
