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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of safely returning patients, particularly children and adolescents, to sport after an ACL tear. They highlight the high rate of ACL re-tear in this population and explain that many young athletes put themselves at risk by returning to the same activities that caused the initial injury. The speaker emphasizes the need for appropriate surgical techniques, good physical therapy, and a focus on safe return to sport. They outline a seven-step approach to achieving this, including setting expectations preoperatively, waiting at least nine months before allowing full sports participation, using objective tests to guide decision-making, and implementing a return to play program. They also stress the importance of ongoing rehabilitation and ACL prevention programs. No credits were mentioned in the video.
