2023 Specialty Day All-Access Pass-When to Correct Slope

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Mark Hurd discusses the sagittal tibial slope in revision ACL reconstruction. He emphasizes the importance of considering modifiable risk factors for reducing reinjury of the ACL. Dr. Hurd mentions that veterinary surgeons have been ahead in addressing the slope of the tibia as a modifiable risk factor. He also references studies that have found an increased failure rate of hamstring ACLs in individuals under 19 years old with a slope of 12 degrees or higher. To decrease posterior tibial slope in revision ACL, Dr. Hurd suggests a closing high-tibial osteotomy and mentions the need for specific fixation methods. He concludes by proposing the need for a larger multi-center trial for further study. There are no credits mentioned in the video.
