Endoscopic CMI Repair and Pubic Symphysis Excision

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Dean Matsuda discusses endoscopic repair of core muscle injuries and pubic symphysis excision, focusing on athletes with groin and central pubic pain often linked to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). He explains that injury to the pubic plate, adductors, and rectus abdominis can cause athletic pubalgia. Conservative treatments sometimes fail, leading to surgical options like endoscopic pubic symphysectomy and tendon repairs. Imaging techniques help diagnose instability and injuries. Combining FAI and core injury treatments improves outcomes. Matsuda emphasizes collaboration among surgeons to optimize management of these complex cases, helping athletes return to sport effectively.
