Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Peter Fabrikant from the Hospital for Special Surgery discusses the management of cartilage-only fragments after patellofemoral dislocation. He defines cartilage-only fragments as fragments that cannot be visualized on injury radiographs and lack visualized bone on the piece during surgery. He discusses the potential for these fragments to heal based on previous case reports and studies. Dr. Fabrikant also provides guidance on assessing these fragments intraoperatively, deciding when and how to fix them, and suggests having a backup plan in case the fixation fails. He presents three cases to highlight these concepts. Overall, fixing cartilage-only fragments can potentially avoid the need for future cartilage restoration procedures.
