IC 304-2022: Technical Tips and Tricks for Knee Osteotomy-Technical Tips and Tricks for Knee Osteotomy (5/5)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, a case is presented of a girl with a neuropathic valgus after a stroke. The girl is high-functioning and working, but keeps falling due to the valgus causing her to smash her tubercle. The doctors discuss the best course of action and consider doing a rotational profile, CT scan, and measurements. They propose doing a medial closing wedge in the distal femur and an anterior opening wedge in the proximal tibia. They also suggest correcting the tibial valga. The doctors debate whether to do the corrections in one go or in separate stages. They discuss the thresholds for when to consider a derotational osteotomy and the use of external frames for correction. The doctors also discuss other cases involving knee osteotomies, meniscus transplant, and ACL allograft failures. The video ends with the doctors sharing their treatment strategies and considerations.<br /><br />Video credits: The video is presented by Dr. Stefano Zaffagnini and Dr. David Dejour.
