Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the topic of osteotomy in knee joint preservation. Osteotomy is an international solution for many knee problems and the speaker believes it should also be more widely adopted in the United States. The goal of osteotomy is to achieve joint homeostasis, which includes a balanced joint with minimal pain and improved function. The success rates for osteotomy in treating arthritis are around 70% at longer terms. Osteotomy can also be beneficial when combined with other cartilage repair procedures or meniscus transplants. The speaker emphasizes the importance of patient selection and provides guidelines for choosing the right candidates for osteotomy. They also discuss various surgical techniques for both varus and valgus corrections, as well as potential complications and ways to prevent them. The speaker also mentions the use of patient-specific instrumentation for planning and executing osteotomy procedures. Overall, the speaker highlights the significance of alignment and the potential benefits of osteotomy in knee joint preservation. No specific credits are mentioned in the video.
