High Tibial Osteotomy: How to Get it Right and Avoid Complications (Case based lecture) (2/4)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features several orthopedic surgeons discussing different cases and complications related to osteotomy procedures. The surgeons emphasize the importance of not accepting dogma in orthopedics and questioning conventional approaches. They discuss various cases, including a 29-year-old male with lateral osteoarthritis and valgus alignment who undergoes a medial closing wedge proximal tibial osteotomy. The surgeons also discuss intra-articular osteotomies, the role of tibial slope in ACL injuries, and different techniques for correcting slope and coronal plane deformities. They stress the need for preoperative planning and individualized approaches for each patient. Complications discussed include hardware irritation, plate removal, and considerations when dealing with increased tibial slopes. Overall, the video highlights the complexity of realignment osteotomy procedures and the importance of considering multiple factors when developing a treatment plan.
