2023 Annual Meeting Knee Access Pass-Surgical Spotlight: Ramp Repair With My Two Portal Technique

Surgical Spotlight: Ramp Repair With My Two Portal Technique

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Professor Romain Ciel discussed RAMP lesions in ACL injuries and the advantages of the two-portal posteromedial repair technique over traditional approaches. He highlighted the limitations of the Gilchrist portal and emphasized the superior visualization and repair capabilities of the two-portal method, initially described by Professor Ahn. Using specialized portals and old-fashioned hooks, surgeons can better assess and repair these lesions, improving capsular tension and stability. They also explored advanced double-row repairs and the classification of ACL injuries by severity, noting RAMP lesions occur mostly in severe cases. Accurate detection and repair of these lesions are critical for improved outcomes in ACL injury treatment.
