Spring 2020 Fellows Webinars-Posterolateral Corner of the Knee

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Rob LaPrade discusses postural lateral corner injuries of the knee. He explains the anatomy and importance of diagnosing these injuries, detailing the various tests and imaging techniques used for diagnosis. Dr. LaPrade also covers the treatment options, including non-operative methods for grades one and two injuries and surgical reconstruction for grade three injuries. He highlights his anatomic reconstruction technique, which involves reconstructing ligaments and tendons using autografts. Dr. LaPrade emphasizes the importance of addressing associated injuries and discusses the role of osteotomy in some cases. He concludes by discussing the outcomes of the anatomic reconstruction technique and the importance of early intervention.<br /><br />The video features Dr. Robert LaPrade discussing surgical techniques and considerations for managing posterolateral corner injuries of the knee. He emphasizes the importance of preoperative planning and identifying nerve injuries before surgery. Dr. LaPrade describes his step-by-step surgical approach, including neuralysis of the common peroneal nerve, graft reconstruction, repair of torn structures, and fixation of grafts. He also discusses the use of recess procedures and anchors for specific injuries. The impact of varus alignment, timing of surgery, and management of associated conditions like osteotomy and vascular injuries are also addressed. Dr. LaPrade concludes by discussing outcomes and advancements in posterolateral corner reconstructions.<br /><br />The first video is a presentation by Dr. Rob LaPrade at a multi-institutional sports medicine fellows conference, while the second video does not specify any credits or sources.
