IC 305 - Shoulder Arthritis In Young Active Patients - What Are The Best Options? (1/4)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses various biologic options for treating shoulder injuries, such as Achilles, Fasciolata, Shoulder Capsule, Lateral Meniscus Allografts, Dermis, Xenograft, and Intesina. They have personally used many of these options and find them to be effective but not perfect. The speaker emphasizes the importance of considering the type and severity of the shoulder injury when choosing a biologic treatment. Palliative treatments like arthroscopic debridement may be effective for some cases, while others may require more extensive treatments like microfracture, osteochondral plug transfer, chondrocyte implantation, or bulk osteochondral allograft. The success of these treatments varies and may require further interventions in the future. The speaker also touches on the debate regarding optimal graft coverage for glenoid defects and the potential for resurfacing the glenoid without replacing the humerus. Overall, more research is needed to determine the best treatment options and evaluate their long-term outcomes.
