Master Series: Principles of Lateral Side Knee Reconstruction-Dr. Mark J. Lemos, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a surgeon discusses two cases of knee injuries and the subsequent reconstructions performed. The first case involves an elite female college soccer player with a flexion contracture who had previously undergone a hamstring release. A bone patella bone isolated fibular reconstruction was performed, allowing the player to return to playing. The second case involves a 17-year-old male football player who sustained a knee dislocation. An ACL-PCL postulateral corner reconstruction was performed, and the patient was able to return to playing sports. The surgeon emphasizes the importance of choosing an operation that one is comfortable with and doing it consistently. The decision to operate and the timing of the surgery are also discussed, along with the use of allograft and preoperative stress views for evaluation. The video concludes by highlighting the need for further research on outcomes and patient-reported measures. No credits were expressly granted in the transcript.
