IC 105 - Surgical Techniques for ACL Reconstruction in Patients with Open Physes (4/6)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of surgeons discuss various techniques and considerations for ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery. They discuss different graft options such as hamstring autografts and quad tendon autografts, as well as the benefits of adding lateral extra-articular tenodesis to the surgery. They also address concerns about growth disturbance in pediatric patients and the importance of protecting the periphery of the knee. The panel agrees that a lateral tenodesis is highly effective and reduces the risk of failure. They also discuss the potential complications of ACL repair surgery and the need for careful graft size selection to avoid joint stuffing and arthrofibrosis. The surgeons emphasize the importance of performing the best operation possible the first time to avoid the need for revision surgeries. Overall, the panel provides insights and recommendations based on their experience in ACL reconstruction surgery. No credits were granted in the video.
