2022 Specialty Day All-Access Pass-Session II: Meniscus/Cartilage

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features speakers discussing various treatment options for knee osteoarthritis. Conservative approaches like physical therapy, activity modification, and oral medications are mentioned, along with gel-based or cortisone injections. Disease-modifying therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) are highlighted, with PRP shown to reduce pain and inflammation, especially when it is leukocyte-poor. However, PRP may not provide significant benefits for advanced osteoarthritis. BMAC is considered promising for cartilage damage and osteoarthritis, and adipose tissue-derived stem cells are also mentioned as a potential option. Realignment of the joint through osteotomies is emphasized for better outcomes in joint preservation surgeries. The use of patient-specific instrumentation and implants for accurate realignment is discussed, as well as the potential use of stem cells for cartilage repair. Revising failed procedures can be successful depending on the reason for the failure. Overall, the video emphasizes the importance of individualizing treatment options based on the patient's condition and addressing the underlying causes of knee osteoarthritis. <br /><br />Credits:<br />- Dr. Rachel Frank, Dr. Seth Sherman, Dr. Karen Sutton, Dr. Kevin Bonner, Dr. Dave Flanagan, Dr. Katherine Logan (speakers)<br />- Video production team
