Video Summary
In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of addressing root and ramp lesions during ACL reconstruction. They explain that root tears need to be repaired to maintain the hoop stress distribution in the knee, and extrusion of the meniscus needs to be relieved. They also discuss the significance of ramp lesions, which are often missed and can cause anterior tibial translation. The speaker emphasizes the importance of repairing these lesions to avoid biomechanical consequences. They discuss different techniques for repairing these lesions and provide examples from their own practice. The video concludes by highlighting the need to be skeptical of MRI results and to always look for ramp lesions during surgery.
