CME OnDemand: Foot and Ankle Injuries in the Athlete-Foot & Ankle Focus: Foot and Ankle Injuries in the Athlete

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the first video, a panel of experts discusses various topics related to foot and ankle injuries in athletes. Dr. James Calder talks about navicular stress fractures, emphasizing non-operative management initially and surgical options if necessary. Dr. Gino Kirchhoffs focuses on acute syndesmotic injuries, discussing diagnosis, imaging modalities, and treatment options. Dr. Ariana Gennacos discusses the use of the nanoscope in foot and ankle surgery, highlighting its advantages and giving examples of cases where it was used.<br /><br />In the second video, Dr. Kennedy discusses in-office arthroscopy for anterior ankle impingement, posterior ankle impingement, and peroneal tendon pathology. He emphasizes the benefits of using ablative techniques and nanoscope technology for better visualization. Dr. Kennedy also talks about the use of biologic adjuncts for enhancing healing and cartilage regeneration. He presents clinical outcomes of different surgical interventions and mentions the role of nanoscope technology in evaluating and treating osteochondral lesions in the office setting. He concludes by highlighting the benefits of IONA as a diagnostic and therapeutic intervention and the future potential of in-office arthroscopic intervention.<br /><br />Overall, both videos provide valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle injuries, as well as the role of advanced techniques in improving outcomes.
