Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the speaker discusses various cases and strategies for avoiding complications in orthopedic surgeries. They mention the importance of warning patients about the risk of hardware removal and optimizing diabetic patients' medical conditions before surgery. They also mention the risk of hinge fractures with large corrections and suggest using a hinge wire or screw or doing a double level correction to mitigate this risk. The speaker also discusses the impact of smoking and diabetes on the risk of complications. They present several cases, including one where a proximal tibial osteotomy was used instead of a distal femoral osteotomy based on deformity analysis. They also discuss cases involving tibial slope correction and complications in cases involving rotational osteotomy. The speaker concludes by noting the potential for 3D planning with patient-specific instrumentation to improve results in these procedures. This video was presented by an orthopedic surgeon, but no name or credentials were provided.
