Video Summary

In the upcoming debate, Dr. Lee and Dr. Tripathi will discuss ACL reconstruction and knee hyperextension in a case of generalized knee laxity. They present a case of a 30-year-old female with a recent knee injury while hiking, experiencing instability and inability to participate in sports. The patient has a Baton score of 9 and exhibits ligamentous laxity. Radiographs show findings of ACL tear and medial meniscus tear. The debate will address the variability among ACL deficient knees and the challenges in managing such cases. The patient's desire to return to playing tennis and the specific diagnostic findings will guide the discussion.
