Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Mike Allais from NYU discusses his approach to multiligament knee injuries. He emphasizes that a multiligament knee injury does not necessarily mean a knee dislocation and that a true dislocation requires higher suspicion due to potential nerve and arterial injuries. Dr. Allais also highlights the importance of rapid evaluation, indications for external fixation, and the need for a CT scan or MR arthrogram before ligament reconstruction in cases of arterial injury. He concludes by emphasizing the need for individualized patient counseling and learning from each case.
