Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses a patient, a 45-year-old female, who experienced a meniscus root injury three months prior. She had posterior medial knee pain and discomfort while performing certain activities. The video shows an MRI scan indicating degenerative changes in the patellofemoral joint and some changes on the medial side. It is suggested that the patient undergo a meniscus repair despite concerns about the medial femoral condyle edema. The surgical technique involves using sutures and a tape-type suture using the luggage tag technique. There is also a discussion about the potential need for an osteotomy depending on the patient's alignment issues. The discussion ends with considerations for marrow venting and PRP injections for the patient. No credits are mentioned.
