Video Summary

The speaker discusses their approach to complex knee surgeries, often performing staging arthroscopy and alignment correction first, followed by ACL, meniscus, and cartilage procedures later. They emphasize the importance of thorough preoperative assessment, especially in revision ACL cases, to evaluate tunnel position, cartilage damage, and meniscus status. If these factors are unclear, staging is preferred. However, with clear information, they can plan and execute a single-stage surgery, though this is less common in complex cases. The process is simpler when fewer issues need addressing. The talk concludes with gratitude to the audience.
