CONCURRENT SCIENTIFIC SESSION 3C: Foot and Ankle Innovations

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video emphasizes the importance of addressing deltoid ligament injuries in cases of ankle instability to prevent ongoing instability and post-traumatic ankle arthritis. Understanding the anatomy and differences between superficial and deep deltoid layers is crucial. Examination of both the deltoid and the syndesmosis is necessary for high ankle sprains and fractures. Various surgical techniques, including percutaneous suture button constructs and arthroscopic deltoid repairs with knotless anchors, are discussed to achieve anatomical repair and improve patient outcomes. The panelists in the video also discuss different aspects of ankle injuries, surgery for deltoid injuries, stabilizing approaches, and use of arthroscopy for diagnosis and treatment, highlighting the importance of individualized treatment based on the patient's condition and activity level.
