Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion focuses on primary patellofemoral dislocation, a common knee injury, featuring Dr. Degut Figueroa and Dr. Miho Tanaka. They present a case of a 15-year-old rugby player with a first-time lateral patellar dislocation. MRI reveals bone marrow edema and medial patellofemoral complex injury. The debate is between surgical intervention (primary MPFL repair by Dr. Corey Edgar) versus nonoperative management (Dr. Laurie Himstra). Key clinical details include limited motion, small effusion, and weak quadriceps, with imaging showing no trochlear dysplasia and neutral alignment. The session explores best treatment options for patellar dislocation in active youth athletes.
