Additional Procedures During ACL Reconstruction: Osteotomies

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Romain Zael discusses ACL reconstruction frequently performed alongside procedures like meniscus repair and osteotomies. He emphasizes osteotomies for cases with high time from injury to surgery, often over two years. Osteotomies help protect soft tissue and address issues like instability and malalignment. Key indicators for surgery include cartilage and ligament status, and bone morphology. He details surgical sequences usually involving single-stage procedures and considerations for combined surgeries. Although challenging and rare, these procedures can be beneficial for chronic instability and require careful patient selection and planning. More research is necessary for primary cases and slope correction potentials.
