Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a study on outcomes after CC ligament reconstruction. The purpose of the study was to assess the success rate and patient-reported outcomes of the procedure using free tendon allografts. They hypothesized that patients would have a high rate of returning to their pre-injury activity level and that clinical outcomes would not necessarily be associated with radiographic loss of reduction. The study used an institutional registry and found no association between radiographic loss of reduction and the ability to return to pre-injury activity level. Concomitant pathology did not affect clinical outcomes. The study acknowledges limitations in technique heterogeneity and postoperative scores.
