AANA19 Wrist & Elbow Access Pass-Cases: Concurrent Scientific Session II: Clinical Cases

Cases: Concurrent Scientific Session II: Clinical Cases - Wrist and Elbow-Dr. Luke S. Oh, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of doctors discusses two interesting cases. The first case involves a 36-year-old female patient with right wrist pain. Initial x-rays showed no significant issues, but six months later, her pain worsened. Further imaging showed damage to the lunate bone in her wrist. The panel discusses various treatment options for her, including wrist scope debridement and radial shortening. One doctor shares a unique technique he used called the "scrambled egg procedure." 15 months after surgery, the patient was pain-free and able to return to sports. The second case involves an 11-year-old female Greco-Roman wrestler with a hyperextended elbow injury. Initial x-rays and an MRI showed a proximal lesion of the UCL ligament. The panel debates the best treatment approach, with some suggesting a suture repair and others suggesting reconstruction. The doctors also discuss another case involving an elbow dislocation and a unique injury to the superficial head of the brachialis tendon. The video concludes with the panel congratulating each other on their presentations.
