Surgical Skills Masters Course: Osteotomies Around the Knee presented by AOSSM and ISAKOS-Session VII: Dinner and Complication Corner

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video showed several cases of complications with knee osteotomy procedures. The first case involved a patient with a patellofemoral hinge fracture. The surgeon had to revise the surgery multiple times due to healing issues and bone dissolving. The second case involved a patient with a tibial tubercle nonunion and infection. The patient had wound cellulitis and required a gastrocnemius flap for wound repair. The third case involved a patient with a double-level osteotomy who developed a fractured tibia and a superficial peroneal artery injury during hardware removal. The surgeon had to control the bleeding and repair the artery, followed by fixing the tibia with a locking plate. Each case highlighted the importance of patient selection, proper indication for surgery, careful surgical technique, and effective management of complications.
