ISAKOS WATANABE ARTHROSCOPY TRAVELLING FELLOWS 2015
What we learned from Dr Sonnery-Cottet: ACL & ALL KING
• ALL reconstruction with isometric point. PPLFE
• ACL reconstruction outside-in technique femoral
tunnel
• SAMBBA: Single-anteromedial bundle biological augmentation technique for ACL
• Hamstring graft remain attached to donor site
• ACL remnant preservation; ACL massage
• Complex posterior medial meniscus repair
• MPFL repair with suture anchors
• Revision ACL with BTB graft harvest by 2 incisions
On June 6–12, we attended the ISAKOS Congress, and had the opportunity to meet many amazing ISAKOS surgeons. We visited various places within Lyon, and were able to visit Paris and the Eiffel
10 Tower.
On June 5, we again observed almost same number of cases of ACL Reconstruction combined with ALL and complex Posteromedial Meniscal root tear repair. We also got a chance to see ACL revision surgeries with BTB graft and MPFL Reconstruction with suture anchors. During the operation, Dr. Sonnery-Cottet practically showed us ALL Isometric points proximal and posterior to lateral femoral epicondyle. He also showed us how to look for proper seating of Endobutton on Femoral shaft by arthroscope in the lateral gutter. After finishing the theatre, Dr. Sonnery-Cottet took us to his clinic and showed few of his post-op patients in rehabilitation.
Overall, the Watanabe Arthroscopy Travelling Fellowship proved to be a great learning and exposure in our career. All the centers we visited were state-of-the-art. The host surgeons are experts in the field of sports medicine and have a great capacity for teaching.
We thank ISAKOS again for giving us this great opportunity to travel and learn from experts.
