2023 Annual Meeting Knee Access Pass-Panel Discussion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The panel discussed pediatric sports medicine topics, focusing on osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) and ACL injuries. Metal compression screws provide stronger fixation for OCD than bioabsorbable screws, with concerns about bio screw breakage and cyst formation. Bone grafting is important for OCD healing. Regarding ACL injuries, surgery is generally preferred, especially for athletes, but some patients with mild symptoms may avoid it. European approaches favor non-operative treatment for linear sports. All-epiphyseal ACL reconstruction techniques and fixation methods, including all-suture anchors for iliotibial band tenodesis, were also reviewed. The session emphasized individualized treatment based on patient activity and lesion specifics.
