Arthroscopic Minced Cartilage Implantation for Chondral Lesions at the Talus: A Technical Note.

ABSTRACT: In the past few years, autologous chondrocyte implantation has been shown to be the most suitable cartilage reconstructive technique with the best tissue quality. Although this method is part of the standard surgical repertoire in the knee joint, it has so far not been an established method in the ankle because there are no prospective randomized controlled studies to prove a significant advantage over alternative methods of cartilage repair. The methods most frequently used in this context (e.g., marrow stimulation techniques) can, however, at most generate hyaline-like and thus biomechanically inferior regenerates. Minced cartilage implantation, on the other hand, is a relatively simple and cost-effective 1-step procedure with promising biological potential and-at least in the knee joint-satisfactory clinical results. We present an arthroscopic surgical technique by which the surgeon can apply autologous chondrocytes in a 1-step procedure (AutoCart; Arthrex, Munich, Germany) to treat articular cartilage defects in the ankle joint.

Arthroscopic Minced Cartilage Implantation (MCI): A Technical Note.

Project description:Articular cartilage lesions are identified with increasing frequency. Several cartilage repair techniques are available to treat symptomatic cartilage defects. The ultimate goal of any cartilage repair procedure is the prevention of premature osteoarthritis. Autologous chondrocyte implantation provides the best tissue quality. However, 2 operations and a resource-intense culturing process with high regulatory demands are disadvantages of this cartilage repair procedure. Furthermore, cellular dedifferentiation and senescence display further cell culture-associated drawbacks that hamper the procedure. Minced cartilage implantation is a relatively simple and cost-effective one-step procedure with promising biologic potential and satisfying clinical results. We present an arthroscopic surgical technique where the surgeon can apply autologous chondrocytes in a one-step procedure to treat articular cartilage defects at the knee joint.

Minced Cartilage Implantation for a Cystic Defect on the Femoral Head-Technical Note.

Project description:Chondral injuries of the femoral head and their possible progression to osteoarthritis is well known. Regarding focal lesions in young patients, microfracturing or autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) are the most frequent used techniques to address them. Although ACI provides the better tissue quality, it is a two-step procedure and needs a lot of resources. Mincing cartilage is an old technique that has become popular again over the last few years, with good short-term results in threatening cartilage lesion in the knee. It seems intriguing to transfer this technique to the hip because you can harvest good-quality cartilage from the cam lesion, and it is a one-step procedure using autologous thrombin and fibrin. This technical note describes the repair of a parafoveal chondral defect using minced cartilage via surgical dislocation of the hip.

Minced Cartilage Procedure for One-Stage Arthroscopic Repair of Chondral Defects at the Glenohumeral Joint.

Project description:Chondral defects of the glenohumeral joint are common but still remain a diagnostic and management challenge. Whereas arthroplasty is a reasonable treatment option in the elderly and low-demand population, joint preservation should be aimed for the remaining patients. For larger defects the current gold standard of treatment is autologous chondrocyte implantation. However, disadvantages such as high cost, the restriction in availability of specialized laboratories, and the 2-stage surgical design need to be accounted for if choosing this option. Showing first good clinical results for the knee joint, minced cartilage implantation is moreover a cost-effective procedure bringing autologous cartilage chips harvested from the defect walls and bringing them into the area of damage in a single-step open or arthroscopic approach. We describe an arthroscopic strategy of this technique to treat chondral defects at the glenohumeral joint.

All-Arthroscopic Implantation of Minced Juvenile Chondral Allograft for an Isolated, Full-Thickness Chondral Lesion in the Trochlea of an Adult Knee.

Project description:Current use of juvenile chondral allograft (DeNovo; Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) within the knee is an emerging treatment option for full-thickness, isolated chondral lesions. Its implantation traditionally involves a formal arthrotomy for exposure. Arthroscopic implantation minimizes the morbidity associated with this treatment option yet retains the promising functional results already established in the literature. We present a technique for all-arthroscopic implantation of juvenile chondral allograft (DeNovo) for a symptomatic, isolated chondral lesion within the trochlea of an adult knee.

Arthroscopic Juvenile Allograft Cartilage Implantation for Cartilage Lesions of the Hip.

Project description:Cartilage lesions in the hip are of high prevalence. Most of these lesions are treated with microfracture. Microfracture has relatively good subjective outcomes for smaller lesions; however, it is limited by the ability to reproduce hyaline cartilage, especially in older patients. For larger chondral defects, we present a technique using juvenile allograft cartilage implantation implanted arthroscopically to treat cartilage lesions in the hip. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the arthroscopic technique for treating chondral lesions in the hip with allograft juvenile cartilage.

Arthroscopic Microfracture of Hip Chondral Lesions.

Project description:Microfracture of hip chondral lesions has been performed for more than a decade with modified treatment principles and techniques from knee arthroscopy. This note and accompanying video review the pertinent techniques, pearls, and pitfalls of the microfracture procedure in the treatment of hip chondral lesions. After debridement of damaged chondral tissue, the size of the lesion is approximated to determine the number of microfracture holes to create. The working portal may be adjusted based on the site of the lesion. Microfracture picks of different angles are used to ensure perpendicular advancement to a depth of 3 to 4 mm in the subchondral bone. The holes are placed at a gap of approximately 3 to 4 mm. The debris is washed out to obtain open holes connecting the marrow with the articular surface. The microfracture procedure should be performed near the end of the overall procedure to secure the bleeding bone marrow within the joint and prevent washout.

Arthroscopic Particulated Juvenile Cartilage Allograft Transplantation for the Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus.

Project description:Several options exist for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus. Particulated juvenile cartilage allograft transplantation (PJCAT) has become a viable treatment modality for osteochondral lesions of the talus that are not amenable to microfracture or for which microfracture has failed. Arthroscopic placement of this type of graft obviates the need for osteotomy or plafondplasty and does not prevent additional procedures from being performed through an anterior approach. Special instrumentation and setup are not required to perform this procedure. Our arthroscopic technique for placement of particulated juvenile cartilage into osteochondral lesions of the talus is described. Case series and outcomes after arthroscopic ankle PJCAT are currently not reported within the literature; however, it is believed that the outcomes are at least similar to those of open ankle PJCAT.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus With Microfracture and Platelet-Rich Plasma-Infused Micronized Cartilage Allograft.

Project description:Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) are difficult to treat. Arthroscopic microfracture augmented with micronized cartilage (BioCartilage; Arthrex, Naples, FL) and platelet-rich plasma is emerging as a treatment for moderate-sized, well-contained full-thickness OLTs. This treatment may provide superior histologic results and is less technically demanding and yields less morbidity than an open osteochondral allograft or autograft transfer. This technique guide presents the senior author's preferred strategy for treatment of a moderate-sized OLT with arthroscopic microfracture and placement of micronized cartilage and platelet-rich plasma.

All arthroscopic medial meniscus inside out repair- Technical note.

Project description:Concomitant meniscal injuries are common in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency. Along with ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair offers better outcomes. This requires multiple incisions for both procedures. We present a novel technique of medial meniscus inside out repair using only the tibial tunnel wound without making an additional posteromedial incision. This is the first such description of this novel technique in a 21 year old male who underwent ACL reconstruction along with bucket handle medial meniscal repair.

Matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation grafting in osteochondral lesions of the talus: Evaluation of cartilage repair using T2 mapping.

Project description:Osteochondral lesions of the talus may be treated with different autologous biological approaches. These include platelet-rich plasma, stem cells or MACI and ACI. MACI implants are used to cover cartilage lining defects in the ankle. A total of 18 patients were treated with MACI implants. NMR images were taken before and after the procedure. T2 mapping was used to quantify the changes in cartilage collagen after a 6 12-month postoperative period. Increase in collagen was recorded on all patients. Both open and arthroscopic procedures were performed depending on the technical difficulties encountered during the repair.
