Questions and Answers: Concurrent Scientific Session IV: Paper Presentations - Knee-Dr. Blake Michael Bodendorfer, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a Q&A session is being held with the audience. The first question concerns the use of fluoroscopy after ACL surgery and whether it would be more effective to rely on larger incisions instead. The speaker explains that while fluoroscopy does add cost and radiation, it allows for direct visualization and ensures correct positioning. The second question asks about the indications for ACL and ALL surgery in professional athletes, and the speaker explains that being a professional athlete is in itself an indication due to the high risk of graft rupture. The speaker also mentions high-grade pivot shift as another indication. Other questions address the timing of ACL repair and the outcomes of primary repairs, as well as the tensioning of ACL augmentation and post-operative rehab. The session concludes with the acknowledgement that differences in outcomes between men and women have not yet been addressed in the research.
