Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Michel Ruiz from Mexico City discusses graft selection and fixation in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Emphasizing the importance of patient-specific decision-making, Ruiz highlights various graft options: patellar tendon bone autograft, autologous quad hamstrings, quadriceps autograft, and peroneus longus autograft, each with unique advantages and challenges. For fixation, interference screws and cortical suspension fixations are explored. Ruiz underscores the need for personalized approaches based on patient characteristics, surgical experience, and graft advantages. Ultimately, graft and fixation choices should prioritize restoring function and quality of life, tailored to the individual patient's needs. This comprehensive overview emphasizes the importance of minimizing bias and error in surgical decisions, while navigating trends and technological advancements thoughtfully.
