Combat Trauma of the Knee Joint: Arthroscopy and Reconstruction
Thank you for your feedback!
How does combat trauma completely change the approach to knee arthroscopy? In this lecture, orthopedic traumatologist Andriy Bezverkhy breaks down the reality of treating gunshot and shrapnel wounds to the knee joint, drawing from extensive clinical experience.
You will see the striking contrast between civilian sports injuries and high-kinetic combat trauma. The presentation dives deep into the specific protocols for managing contaminated wounds, prioritizing damage control (life over limb), and performing complex intra-articular surgeries once the patient is stabilized.
Key highlights include:
• Real arthroscopic footage of metal fragment removal from under the lateral meniscus.
• Step-by-step breakdown of ACL reconstruction using the inside technique.
• A critical look at post-operative complications, revealing why corticosteroid injections can lead to devastating joint infections.
• Practical nuances of using VAC therapy in open knee injuries.
The complete review of these clinical cases reveals the exact surgical tactics that save joint function in the most unpredictable conditions, offering invaluable insights for your surgical practice.
