Video Summary

In this video, a group of medical professionals are discussing an ACL tear in a 21-year-old female college soccer player. They analyze various views of the lateral meniscus, noting abnormalities in the posterior horn. They discuss potential diagnoses and treatment options, including sutures or removal of the tear. The group agrees that lateral meniscus oblique radial tear is the correct diagnosis. They emphasize the importance of identifying a kickstand fragment and performing an all-inside repair. Biomechanically, repairing the tear is shown to be favorable over debridement or removal. Repairing the meniscus helps restore stability and prevent extrusion. The preferred suture size is 2.0 or smaller.
