IC 105 - Surgical Techniques for ACL Reconstruction in Patients with Open Physes (2/6)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the topic of ACL injuries in young patients and the surgical options available for reconstruction. The speaker presents information on the increasing rates of ACL injuries among young adolescents, the risks associated with delayed surgery or non-operative management, and the different surgical techniques available. They focus on the all epiphyseal approach, which uses sockets instead of tunnels, and share their experience with this technique, including the use of pediatric-specific guides and the importance of avoiding contact with the distal femoral physis to prevent growth disturbances. The speaker also discusses outcomes and complications associated with the all epiphyseal reconstruction and emphasizes the need for assessing skeletal age, selecting appropriate surgical techniques, and conducting quality of movement assessments before returning young athletes to sport. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
