Patella Instability Didactic Presentations - AOSSM/POSNA Pediatric Surgical Skills Course-7. Lateral Lengthening

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video describes a technique for performing a lateral retinacular lengthening procedure, which is used to treat certain knee conditions. The speaker explains the steps involved in the procedure, including identifying the superficial and deep layers of tissues, making incisions, using cautery to control bleeding, and dissecting the layers to create a wall of tissue. The speaker emphasizes the importance of adequate dissection to ensure proper lengthening and the ability to manipulate the patella. The video also shows an example of the procedure being performed with an isolated MPFL (medial patellofemoral ligament) through a small incision. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
