Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video presentation, the speaker discusses the technique of performing trochleoplasty, a surgical procedure for treating trochlear dysplasia. They emphasize that there is currently no literature support for performing trochleoplasty in very skeletally immature patients. The speaker demonstrates the steps of the procedure, including exposing the trochlea, removing a window of cortical bone, removing cancellous bone, and fixing the trochleoplasty with anchors and sutures. They also highlight the importance of preserving and packing the reamings and bone to support the subchondral bone. The presentation concludes with the sutures pulling back the periosteum to the trochlear edge and the closure of the incision. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
