2021 Annual Meeting Knee Access Pass-Questions and Answers: ACL Beyond the Ligament

Questions and Answers: ACL Beyond the Ligament

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the panel discusses the use of lateral sided reconstructions in knee surgeries. They agree that there are certain indications for this technique, including young patients, those participating in pivoting sports, patients with hyperlaxity or chronic injuries, those undergoing revision ACL reconstruction, and elite athletes. However, they caution that this decision should not be made in isolation, and the patient's overall condition must be considered. They also mention that the procedure may not be suitable for patients who cannot tolerate pain, as it can lead to complications. The panelists also discuss their preferred grafts for the procedure. The video ends with Dr. Brian Cole introducing Dr. Rick Rear.
