Description
The presented transcript appears to be from a medical panel discussion or symposium involving experts discussing orthopedic practices, particularly focused on bone grafting, syndesmosis fixation, and perioperative nerve blocks. Andrea Veljkovic facilitates the discussion, engaging with panelists Mark Glazebrook, Luke Heinrichs, Damian Dimnjakovic, Malik Ali, and Murray Wong concerning their research and clinical experiences.
Key topics covered include the use of rhPDGF in older patients, the comparative effectiveness of bone graft substitutes versus autografts, the challenges associated with syndesmosis fixation, and considerations for performing arthroscopic versus open surgical procedures. There is also mention of exploring the impacts of various nerve block substances and the utility of weight-bearing CT scans for assessing syndesmosis. The dialogue reflects a collaborative atmosphere where professionals exchange insights on best practices and potential areas for further study in orthopedic surgery.
