2021 Annual Meeting Knee Access Pass-Case Panel: My Worst Complications-Alaia

Case Panel: My Worst Complications-Alaia

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a case study of a 55-year-old gentleman with knee pain and medial arthritis. The patient underwent a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) but experienced complications, including a lateral-based fracture and infection. The speaker consults with other experts and decides to perform a Mescalet procedure, which involves removing hardware and filling the void with antibiotic-coated cement. After the infection clears, bone grafting will be performed, and a new plate and potentially a gastroc flap will be used. The speaker emphasizes the importance of considering potential complications in surgical procedures. No credits were mentioned in the video.
