Every revolution begins with a simple idea: sharing knowledge in a better way. What began as a vision—to make joint surgery teaching and understanding possible through the universal language of video—has now evolved into a movement transforming surgical education across Latin America.
Changing the Way We Learn Surgery: The Silent Revolution of VideoACCART

The increasing participation of young people in sports has led to a higher incidence of patellar dislocations, which are often associated with injury to the medial patellofemoral ligament. When these injuries are isolated, the first episode can usually be managed conservatively. However, when accompanied by flake-type osteochondral fractures, surgical treatment is required.
Anterior shoulder instability with significant glenoid bone loss poses a complex surgical challenge. While the Latarjet procedure has proven effective, its traditional approach may compromise subscapularis integrity. This video demonstrates an arthroscopic alternative using a fresh distal tibia allograft without splitting the subscapularis tendon, thereby reducing neuromuscular risk and preserving rotator cuff function. The technique is based on recent anatomical and...
Untreated subscapularis (SSC) tendon tears can lead to tendon retraction, muscle atrophy, and fatty degeneration, which often result in significant shoulder dysfunction—particularly impairing internal rotation and limiting daily activities. As these tears progress, chronic degeneration may render them irreparable, making surgical management particularly challenging. Various surgical approaches have been proposed for irreparable SSC tears, including anterior capsular reconstruction (ACR)...
