Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a case study of a nine-year-old male with a complete ACL tear. Initially, rehab and activity restriction were chosen as the treatment option, but after a year, the patient became unstable with a bucket handle meniscus tear and no ACL. Surgical options are now being considered. The speaker focuses on the all-epiphyseal technique for ACL surgery, which includes the all-epiphyseal femoral tunnel and the hybrid case on the tibial side. They explain the principles and techniques involved in reaching the native ACL footprint and avoiding growth plates. Fixation options and the importance of dedicated surgical teams are also discussed. The video concludes by addressing rehab protocols and the risks associated with surgical delay. The speaker credits Alan Anderson for the development of the all-epiphyseal technique and acknowledges the presence of risks in both the surgery and delaying treatment.
