Video Summary

The transcript is from a conference focused on osteotomy, a surgical procedure for correcting bone deformities, particularly in the knee. The session kicks off with the moderator welcoming attendees and introducing key speakers who will cover various aspects of osteotomies, including complications and case studies.<br /><br />Seth starts by providing an introduction to osteotomies, discussing the method from templating to mistakes made. He emphasizes the importance of proper patient selection and the powerful role of osteotomy in preserving knee function. He highlights the high success rates for return to work and play and underscores the advantages of combining osteotomy with cartilage repairs to lower reoperation rates.<br /><br />The session goes on to address common complications, such as over- and under-corrections, wound complications, neurovascular injuries, and hinge fractures. Both Seth and Armando suggest utilizing advanced technologies like Patient-Specific Instrumentation (PSI) to improve accuracy and minimize errors.<br /><br />Armando shares his personal experiences with complications, such as hinge fractures that extend either laterally or into the joint. He explains how to manage these fractures both intraoperatively and postoperatively. Detailed explanations are given on the importance of proper hinge axis, surgical techniques, and ensuring the correct osteotomy angles.<br /><br />Finally, Al discusses complications specific to distal femoral osteotomies (DFO), including non-union and hinge management. He emphasizes the necessity of thorough preoperative planning and explains different strategies to ensure a successful outcome, such as the use of biplanar osteotomies and appropriate fixation techniques.<br /><br />Overall, the session underscores the importance of meticulous planning, patient selection, and leveraging advanced technology to avoid complications and improve surgical outcomes in osteotomy procedures.
