@sayanamk I would certainly discuss fixation with patient. Young active patient, surgery may reduce (but not stop) future degenerative change. Balance with rehab and risks #informedconsent

Attention knee surgery trainees!

A last minute change has meant we have a knee fellowship post available starting August 2024. One year post (or 2 x six months)

Come join the team of 8 specialist knee consultants to improve your knowledge of sports knee and arthroplasty

Certainly something to note in all ACL tears. In a primary with a high slope it is useful to counsel the patient explain that they may have a higher risk of re-injury. But slope correction in a primary, no. May add a LET to reduce risk of reinjury.

[RJ @northwoods1980]

Has anyone studied or currently studying for primary reconstruction?

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@andrewhallortho @miriam_khalil13 Very true

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@RoshanaMN That is what everyone wanted to know 🏃‍♀️

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@DrJN_SportsMed Great description of these chronic tears. We are understanding more about them and in some, surgical repair is very helpful

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@kneedoclond Happy Anniversary James

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@DrJN_SportsMed I agree with @bellkneesurgeon and @kashakhtar MRI is a static image and aids in diagnosis. Management is decided by basics of history and examination. If persistent instability after adequate rehab, the “healed” ACL is clearly not functional.

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@kashakhtar @expertknee Needs de-rotation - not just coronal correction

[Andy Metcalfe @AndyMetOrtho]

We have started randomising participants for METEOR2!!

👏👏👏 to everyone working on this super-important knee RCT

Do you see patients with persistent pain >6m after meniscectomy? Send them to one of the trial sites!

(sites & more details in thread..)

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@NuelleSportsMD Looks great, how about a notchplasty?

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@kashakhtar @baskonline @ArthrexUK My TPD has retired, so where can I sign up?

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@DrJN_SportsMed @kashakhtar Yes, cysts around proximal tib-fib joint are quite common. Can cause pain, but often incidental finding.

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@henryknee @KneeUnit @kneedoclond @kashakhtar @expertknee Excellent

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

Interesting case. Calcific tendonitis in distal quadriceps. Symptomatic, treatment options? @KneeUnit @kneedoclond @kashakhtar @expertknee

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@DrJN_SportsMed @kashakhtar @expertknee @KneeUnit @kneedoclond Yes, not seen one this amount of calcification before - admittedly I don’t use ultrasound, but I do see a lot of knee x-rays

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@DrJN_SportsMed @kashakhtar @expertknee @KneeUnit @kneedoclond No history of gout

[Deepu Sethi @DeepuSethi]

@kashakhtar @expertknee @KneeUnit @kneedoclond @DrJN_SportsMed Thinking this is quite a big lesion and very well calcified. Speaking to shoulder surgeons, they use shockwave and needling, but for much smaller lesions.
