IC 107 - Optimizing ACL Reconstruction in 2023: A Case-Based Approach (3/5)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses how to optimize ACL reconstructions and explains why BTB (bone-patellar tendon-bone) and hamstring autografts are considered the gold standard. The speaker presents two case scenarios to illustrate the types of injuries commonly seen. They then discuss different graft options, including BTB, hamstring, and quad tendon, highlighting the characteristics and advantages of each. The speaker also discusses the biomechanics and load to failure rates of the grafts. The video emphasizes the importance of considering factors such as age, activity level, and patient expectation when choosing a graft type. The speaker concludes by stating that BTB and hamstring grafts have good long-term outcomes and low donor site morbidity, making them suitable for highly active athletes.
