Video Summary

In this video, a doctor discusses a case study of a 49-year-old female patient with progressive patella femoral pain. The patient had tried various treatments including steroid injections, Botox, therapy, and braces, but nothing was effective. The doctor decided to perform a distalizing osteotomy and a scope to address the issue. However, during the follow-up, it was discovered that there was a fracture at the osteotomy site and the fixation had failed. The doctor and a panel of experts discuss the potential solutions which involve using screws, anchors, and possible bone grafts to salvage the situation. In the end, the patient's rehabilitation progressed well and she was pain-free with improved mobility. The importance of CT scans for preoperative planning is emphasized. <br /><br />No specific credits were mentioned in the transcript.
