Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a question and answer session after presentations on various topics. The first question is about tendon elongation after Achilles repairs and if it led to changes in the protocol. The presenter explains that regardless of elongation, both groups underwent the same rehab protocol and cites a study from Denmark that showed similar elongation in all groups. The second question is about the fixation of beads used in a study and their correlation to functional outcomes. The presenter explains that the beads were laser etched and buried within the tendon, helping to hold them in place. The lengthening did not affect functional outcomes. Other questions include early weight-bearing after Achilles repairs and the use of NSAIDs for postoperative Jones fractures. The video concludes with discussions regarding the use of opioids and anti-inflammatories in pain management, as well as the inflammatory marker profile in ACL ruptures. Thank yous are given to the audience at the end.
