Video Transcription

My name is Lee Pace. This ICL is run by, or is staffed with some surgeons around the country who are part of this group called Mercury, and we can credit Aaron Kritz for the name.  It stands for Meniscus Replacement Conservation and Repair. It looks like you say it Mercure, but you say it Mercury.  We've been around for a few years now looking to do some different, basically a perspective evaluation of meniscus transplant, meniscus repair, et cetera, et cetera.  So our faculty, if I'm hitting the forward button, if I can get the thing to work. I'm not getting the mouse to work on forward. There we go. Okay. So here's our faculty.  As you can see, we've got, I will humbly submit to you a who's who of meniscus repair. And what we'll do is before we get started, I just want to run through just a quick case.  We want to see where people are at in their heads with meniscus repair in 2023. So we've got a 45 year old male with about six months of knee pain.  Not really much pertinent medical history, but he's kind of a weird guy, antisocial, awkward, kind of unattractive and unpleasant to be around.  Just kind of put the personal stuff to the side, but he's got lateral joint line tenderness, little diffusion. Otherwise the knee looks okay.  Here's his x-rays look pretty clean, neutral alignment. And here's his MRI. And he's got this horizontal cleavage, lateral meniscus tear with a cyst.  So for a 45 year old male, if the joint looks good, who thinks that there is a possibility of actually being able to stitch this thing together, raise your hands.  Who says this guy's got one foot in the grave. I'm just going to cut it out. All right. So that person is me. So we'll see what happens. All right. So all right, good.  So let's, if we can go on, if we can, let's bring up Scott Rodeo's talk for the biologic.

Video Summary

The video features Lee Pace introducing the Meniscus Replacement Conservation and Repair group, also known as Mercury. The group consists of surgeons from around the country, with credit given to Aaron Kritz for the name. They focus on evaluating meniscus transplant and repair methods. Pace presents a case of a 45-year-old male with knee pain and discusses the possibility of stitching together a horizontal cleavage, lateral meniscus tear with a cyst. Pace, the speaker in the video, expresses his willingness to remove the damaged part, while seeking input from the audience. The video then transitions to a talk by Scott Rodeo on the topic of biologics.
