Video Description

ACL Foot Print - Dr Billy Paul Wilson


PUNE KNEE COURSE 2022

The video titled "ACL Foot Print - Dr Billy Paul Wilson" discusses the anatomy of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and the importance of adapting surgical techniques to changing times. The video emphasizes the importance of anatomical placement in ACL reconstruction, proper patient positioning, and the importance of proper portal placement and tissue clearance during arthroscopic procedures.

The video describes a technique for preserving the footprint of an individual's anatomy to ensure accurate drilling during surgery. This involves using devices like a control pick to mark the center of the footprint, and then drilling a deeper crater in that spot. The video emphasizes the importance of being precise and having a good assistant to ensure that the drilling is done correctly and does not damage surrounding tissue.

The video also provides instructions for clearing bone debris around the knee joint before performing surgery. It emphasizes the importance of visualizing the tunnel from the anteromedial portal and ensuring there is no bone debris present. The video suggests using flexible reamers and low-profile reamers to avoid complications.

The video discusses various techniques for drilling through bone during surgery, including retro reamers, suspendic fixation, and TBL drilling. It emphasizes the importance of understanding landmarks and using accurate guides to ensure precision during the procedure. The video also discusses the process of using a guide pin to create a tunnel for a knee replacement surgery.

The video concludes by discussing a surgical technique for ACL reconstruction on the lateral meniscus. The reamer must be used carefully to avoid catching on the root of the lateral meniscus. It is important to identify the anatomy and fill the footprint to 50-80% using a large graph. An inclination angle of less than 15 degrees indicates a successful reconstruction, and the rest is left for biology to take over.
