So You’ve Mastered MPFL Reconstruction: What Else to Add, and When? (4/4)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the topic of lateral soft tissues, specifically focusing on the lateral patellofemoral ligament (LPFL) and the lateral patellofemoral complex. The speaker explains the anatomy and function of these structures, emphasizing their role in patellar stability and preventing lateral translation. They also discuss surgical techniques such as osseous-based reconstructions, soft tissue reconstructions, and lateral lengthening. The speaker presents case examples to illustrate the use of these techniques in patients with chronic lateral patellar maltracking and medial patellar instability. They highlight the importance of proper patient selection and the potential complications associated with lateral release procedures. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the significance of the lateral soft tissues in maintaining patellofemoral stability and the need for further research to improve surgical outcomes. No credits were mentioned in the video.
