Case-based Approach to the Management of AC Joint Injuries – An International Perspective (2021 Annual Meeting)-Case Discussion-Mulcahey

Video Transcription

Video Summary

During the video, a case is presented involving a 32-year-old male who complains of right shoulder pain and instability during sports due to a grade 3 AC separation and a history of glenohumeral joint instability. The discussion revolves around whether the symptoms are solely due to the AC joint or if other pathologies like a SLAP or Bankart lesion should be considered. The speakers debate the necessity of an MRI, with one recommending it for chronic cases. The video goes on to show the patient's imaging, including a Bancart tear and 17% glenoid bone loss. The plan is to fix both the Bancart tear and Hill-Sachs lesion through arthroscopic procedures. The use of allograft or autograft for reconstruction is also discussed. The video ends with a brief explanation of post-operative rehabilitation. No credits are mentioned.
