Video Summary

In this video, a 22-year-old female college soccer player with lateral knee pain is presented. She has a history of two previous arthroscopic partial lateral meniscectomies and has developed significant meniscus and articular cartilage damage. The video discusses her treatment options, which include a lateral meniscus allograft transplant and mace to her lateral femoral condyle. The surgeon explains the procedure and demonstrates the use of a bone bridge and sutures to hold the allograft in place. The post-operative rehabilitation involves weight-bearing with protected range of motion and a gradual return to activities. However, despite the successful procedure, the patient was unable to return to her previous level of soccer due to the loss of cartilage. The video concludes with a discussion among the medical professionals about different surgical techniques and considerations for similar cases. No specific credits are given in the video.
