IC 303: Patellofemoral Joint Preservation: A Case-Based Approach to Managing Chondrosis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The provided video transcript outlines an interactive small-group session focusing on patellofemoral joint preservation. The session is moderated by Seth Sherman and features faculty members Adam Yanke, Christian Latterman, and David Deduck, who present and discuss case studies centered on patellofemoral issues.<br /><br />Key topics include the management of cartilage lesions and patellar instability, the pros and cons of various surgical approaches like tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO), MPFL reconstruction, and cases involving both chondral defects and instability. Faculty emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis using techniques such as PTLTR (Patellar Tendon Lateral Trochlear Ridge) measurement and tailored surgical intervention plans to suit individual patient anatomy and pathology. <br /><br />The session aims to provide lifelong learning and foster dynamic discussion among attendees to improve clinical outcomes in patellofemoral joint preservation.
