Surgical Technique Spotlight: Arthroscopic OCD Repair (video demo)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the presenter discusses a surgical procedure for repairing a ligament tear in the elbow. The presenter starts by showing the panel a big hole that needs to be addressed. They discuss the various options for graft sources, including autografts and allografts. The panel members share their preferences for graft sources, such as using the medial trochlea or a distal humeral allograft. The discussion also includes the use of multiple graft plugs and the importance of knowing where the ulnar nerve is located before making the incision. The presenter then demonstrates the surgical procedure on a cadaveric elbow, highlighting the steps of splitting the ligament, drilling holes in the sublime tubercle, and creating a chamber within the epicondyle for the graft. The video cuts off before the procedure is completed. The presenter in the video is Dr. Neil Elattrash and the panel members include Dr. George Paletta and others.
