2024 AANA/ISAKOS Specialty Day All-Access Pass-Case Panel Discussion: Patellofemoral Instability

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A panel discussion is taking place with experts from various countries discussing different cases related to knee issues. The first case is about a 16-year-old female who has had multiple dislocations of the patella. The panel discusses various treatment options, including fixing the patella alta (high patella), performing a distalization osteotomy, and addressing the valgus alignment. The second case is about a 17-year-old female dancer who experienced a twisting injury to her knee during practice. The panel discusses the possibility of a cartilage lesion and recommends getting an MRI for further evaluation. They also discuss the treatment options for instability, including an MPFL (medial patellofemoral ligament) reconstruction. The last case involves a 13-year-old male with a primary lateral patellar dislocation and a large osteochondral lesion. The panel discusses the option of guided growth surgery for correcting the valgus alignment. Each case is thoroughly analyzed and treatment options are discussed by the panel.
