Video Summary

The video discusses the importance of RAMP (Posterior meniscus capsular) lesions in relation to knee laxity and ACL strain. It highlights the challenges in diagnosing these lesions and presents a study analyzing their incidence and risk factors. The study found that RAMP lesions occurred in about 24% of ACL injured knees and identified risk factors such as male gender, age less than 30, chronicity of injury, and presence of lateral meniscal lesion. The study also revealed that anterolateral ligament reconstruction during ACL reconstruction reduced the rate of secondary meniscectomy. Overall, the video emphasizes the significance of posterior medial compartment evaluation and the need for further research in this area.
