IC 202 - Patellofemoral Cartilage Pathology Diagnosis and Management: From Nonoperative to Arthroplasty (1/3)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses a patient with patellofemoral pain and a sensation of the knee getting stuck during movement. The doctor explains the importance of distinguishing between cartilage defects and femoral condyle defects in patellofemoral patients. MRI scans reveal a significant patellar defect, and the patient undergoes a staging arthroscopy. After the debridement procedure fails to relieve symptoms, the doctor considers a cartilage procedure. The options discussed include a MACE and tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO), an osteochondral allograft, and a patellofemoral arthroplasty. The doctor explains the process of performing an osteochondral allograft on the patient's trochlea. The video also discusses the use of allografts for TTO and the closing of a lateral lengthening procedure. No credits were provided.
