PRE14: Arthroplasty in the Upper Extremity: How to Get Consistent Results and Optimize Outcomes (AM22)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the global perspective on the management of panplexus injuries. The speaker highlights the challenges of comparing outcomes globally due to variations in patient demographics, injury patterns, and treatment approaches. The typical patients discussed are those with severe injuries, high BMI, and high impact accidents. The speaker emphasizes the importance of individualizing treatment plans based on each patient's unique situation and expectations. Diagnostic tools such as history, physical exams, EMG, and imaging are used to assess the extent of the injury and determine the best course of action. The speaker mentions the use of intraoperative monitoring for more accurate assessment of nerve function. Surgical reconstruction options include nerve transfers, grafts, and functioning free muscle transfers. The speaker also discusses the importance of managing pain in patients with panplexus injuries. Both technical and technological advancements are mentioned as potential future developments in the field. The speaker encourages the standardization of outcome reporting internationally and the importance of continued research in improving outcomes for patients with panplexus injuries.
