2022 Specialty Day All-Access Pass-Session VIII: AANA Innovations Lecture

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript is a presentation by Dr. Martha Murray on the topic of bridge-enhanced ACL restoration. The presentation discusses the process of developing and testing a new procedure for treating ACL injuries. Dr. Murray explains that the current standard procedure of ACL reconstruction has limitations, and there is a need for innovation to improve outcomes. She describes the research and development process, starting with preclinical studies in animal models, followed by biocompatibility testing and manufacturing optimization. The presentation also highlights the results of clinical trials, including patient-reported outcomes, knee stability, muscle strength, and re-tear rates. Dr. Murray concludes by emphasizing the importance of a rigorous scientific approach to orthopedic innovation and the need for further research to optimize the procedure. The presentation was part of the Arthroscopy Association of North America's Anna Innovations Lecture and was delivered by Dr. Martha Murray, orthopedic surgeon-in-chief at Boston Children's Hospital and professor of orthopedic surgery at Harvard Medical School. No additional credits were provided.
