APEX Managing Modern Athletic Hip Injuries-Online Didactic (September 2021)-New Cartilage Technologies in 2020: Ready for Prime Time?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video recording is a talk on new cartilage technologies in 2020 that are ready for prime time, specifically focusing on hip cartilage repair. The speaker discusses the reasons for cartilage failure and the desired outcome of cartilage repair, which is to reconstitute hyaline cartilage. They explain the components required for successful cartilage repair, including cells, signaling molecules, and a matrix scaffold. The speaker also highlights the differences between hip and knee articular cartilage and its implications for tissue engineering in the hip. They discuss various surgical techniques and procedures for cartilage repair in the hip, such as microfracture, autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis, and cell implantation. The speaker mentions the outcomes and innovations for each technique and concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the biology and biomechanics of hip cartilage for effective treatment decisions. The speaker acknowledges various individuals for their input and concludes by hoping for a return to normalcy in the future.
