Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Paige Fox and Dr. David Kohlberg discuss the use of autologous fat grafting in various hand surgeries and procedures. Dr. Fox starts by explaining the properties of fat that make it attractive for use in hand surgery, including its anti-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic, and regenerative properties. She also describes the importance of retention and factors that can affect it, such as the technique used for harvesting and processing the fat. Dr. Kohlberg then goes on to discuss specific indications for fat grafting, including scar contractures, tenolysis, neurolysis, Dupuytren's disease, basal joint arthritis, wound healing, rejuvenation, and gender affirmation surgeries. He presents case examples demonstrating the use of fat grafting in these different scenarios, highlighting the benefits of improved skin quality, reduced adhesions, and regeneration of soft tissue. The doctors also address questions from the audience and discuss topics such as insurance coverage for fat grafting procedures and the use of fat grafting in conditions like scleroderma and radiated tissue. They conclude by emphasizing the potential benefits of fat grafting in hand surgery and the importance of individualizing the treatment approach for each patient.
