In this episode of Teaching Knee Surgeons with AI, we examine the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) for bleeding prophylaxis in sports orthopedic procedures, including ACL reconstruction and knee osteotomies. We provide a critical review of the current literature, discuss its impact on perioperative blood loss, complication rates, and cost-efficiency, and highlight important contraindications and safety considerations. When does TXA add real value—and when should caution prevail? An evidence-informed discussion for surgeons aiming to optimize outcomes and perioperative management. Enjoy listening. 🎧

In this episode of Teaching Knee Surgeons with AI, we explore the role of patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) in knee osteotomies. We discuss the use of 3D-printed, patient-specific cutting guides based on individualized preoperative planning—typically derived from CT imaging—to enhance surgical precision and alignment accuracy. How much does PSI truly improve intraoperative execution? And what does the current clinical evidence tell us about its benefits and limitations? This episode takes a critical look at the scientific data behind PSI in osteotomies around the knee. Enjoy listening. 🎧

In this episode of Teaching Knee Surgeons with AI, we focus on the TTTG distance and its clinical relevance in patellofemoral disorders. The Podcast discusses when the TTTG distance truly matters, where its limitations and sources of error lie, and which anatomical, technical, and imaging-related factors can significantly influence its measurement. Understanding these pitfalls is essential to avoid over- or misinterpretation in clinical decision-making. A practical, evidence-informed discussion for anyone treating patellofemoral instability.
