2023 Annual Meeting Knee Access Pass-Questions and Answers / Preguntas

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The panel discussed challenges in preventing meniscus extrusion post-transplant, especially in patients with prior meniscectomy. Preserving the meniscocapsular layer is vital to avoid extrusion, but routine use of odesis capsule varies. High-performance athletes pose dilemmas: meniscal transplants may not benefit their careers despite potential long-term knee health improvements. The consensus remains that meniscal transplants serve more as interposition techniques to reduce pain and delay osteoarthritis rather than fully restoring meniscus function. Future sessions will explore ANA techniques further, emphasizing collaboration among Latin American experts. The event concluded with thanks and a group photo.
