Second-look arthroscopic and magnetic resonance analysis after internal fixation of osteochondral lesions of the talus.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate cartilage quality after internal fixation of osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) using second-look arthroscopies and MRIs. Thirty-four patients underwent internal fixation of OLTs involving large bone fragments. Twenty-one of these patients underwent second-look arthroscopies and 23 patients underwent MRIs postoperatively. The arthroscopic findings were assessed using the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) grading system, and the MRI findings were evaluated using the Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue (MOCART) score. Five of the patients who underwent second-look arthroscopies showed normal cartilage, 12 showed nearly normal cartilage, 3 showed abnormal cartilage, and 1 showed severely abnormal cartilage, according to the overall ICRS repair grades. All the patients who achieved bone fragment union showed normal, or nearly normal cartilage upon second-look arthroscopy. The ICRS and MOCART scores were significantly higher for the patients with bone fragment union compared to those with nonunion (ICRS scores: 10.3 ± 1.5 vs. 6.0 ± 2.0, p < 0.001, MOCART score: 88.3 ± 10.0 vs. 39.0 ± 20.4, p < 0.001). Low signal intensities of the bone fragments on preoperative T1-weighted MRIs were not associated with nonunion (Fisher's exact test, p = 0.55), and the signal intensities increased postoperatively to levels similar to the underlying talus when bone union was achieved. Second-look arthroscopy and MRI showed normal, or nearly normal, cartilage after internal fixation of OLTs when bone union was achieved. The nonunion of bone fragments resulted in inferior cartilage quality.

Osteochondral lesions of the talus.

Project description:Background and purpose - The frequency of progression of osteoarthritis and persistence of symptoms in untreated osteochondral lesion of the talus (OCL) is not well known. We report the outcome of a nonoperative treatment for symptomatic OCL. Patients and methods - This study included 142 patients with OCLs from 2003 to 2013. The patients did not undergo immobilization and had no restrictions of physical activities. The mean follow-up time was 6 (3-10) years. Initial MRI and CT confirmed OCL and showed lesion size, location, and stage of the lesion. Progression of osteoarthritis was evaluated by standing radiographs. In 83 patients, CT was performed at the final follow-up for analyses of the lesion size. We surveyed patients for limitations of sports activity, and Visual Analogue Scales (VAS), AOFAS, and SF-36 were assessed. Results - No patients had progression of osteoarthritis. The lesion size as determined by CT did not change in 69/83 patients, decreased in 5, and increased in 9. The mean VAS score of the 142 patients decreased from 3.8 to 0.9 (p < 0.001), the mean AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score increased from 86 to 93 (p < 0.001), and the mean SF-36 score increased from 52 to 72 (p < 0.001). Only 9 patients reported limitations of sports activity. The size and location of the lesion did not correlate with any of the outcome scores. Interpretation - Nonoperative treatment can be considered a good option for patients with OCL.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Posterolateral Lesions of the Talus Without Fibular Osteotomy.

Project description:Osteochondral lesions of the talus are chondral defects often caused by acute trauma to the ankle such as sprains and fractures. If operative treatment is necessary, microfracture, cartilage replacement, and autologous chondrocyte implantation can be used. We describe a single-step osteochondral allograft transfer to access the posterolateral talar dome that avoids the need for a fibular osteotomy and therefore eliminates morbidity while reducing operative time.

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.

Outcomes of arthroscopic bone graft transplantation for Hepple stage V osteochondral lesions of the talus.

Project description:BackgroundBased on MRI imaging findings, osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) can be classified into five stages, in which stage V represents OLT with subchondral cyst formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing arthroscopic transplantation of calcaneus bone graft for Hepple stage V OLT.MethodsThis retrospective study included 24 patients with Hepple stage V OLT (15 men and 9 women), with an average age of 39.8±12.9 years old. The mean follow-up period was 18.9±11.8 months. At this follow-up, all patients were clinically evaluated using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, the Karlsson Ankle Function Score (KAFS), the Tegner score, and the visual analogue scale (VAS). Furthermore, 14 patients underwent MRI imaging examinations, and the Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue (MOCART) 2.0 score was assessed.ResultsThe AOFAS score, KAFS, Tegner activity score, and VAS pain score (preoperative: 62.2, 60.4, 2.1, and 6.2, respectively; postoperative: 92.8, 88.5, 4.2, and 1.6, respectively) improved significantly (P=0.0001). The MRI-based MOCART score of the articular cartilage repair tissue after surgery was 68±14.8.ConclusionsArthroscopic transplantation of calcaneus bone graft for Hepple stage V OLT could obtain satisfying clinical and radiological outcomes in the short-term.

Arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation for fracture of the lateral process of the talus.

Project description:Fractures of the lateral process of the talus (LPT) are relatively rare. We describe arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation for a type I fracture of the LPT according to the Hawkins classification. Preoperative computed tomography is necessary to evaluate the type and displacement of the LPT fracture because this type of fracture is often overlooked on a plain radiograph. The ankle is approached through a standard medial portal as the working portal and an anterolateral portal as the viewing portal. A 2.7-mm-diameter 30° arthroscope is used. Hematoma and soft tissues around the talus are cleared with a motorized shaver, and the anterior and lateral aspects of the talar process are visualized. Fracture reduction is obtained by pushing the lateral fragment of the lateral process medially and is fixed temporally with a 1.1-mm guidewire from the medial portal under both arthroscopy and fluoroscopy. A headless compression screw is inserted through the guidewire. Arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation for a type I LPT fracture can be easily accomplished, and return to daily and sports activities can be achieved in a relatively short time.

All-Arthroscopic Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis for the Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus.

Project description:Several surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of talar chondral lesions. Among them, microfracture is well established. Autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC), using microfracture and biomaterials, has shown promising results for the treatment of knee osteochondral lesions and has been proposed for the ankle as an open technique. We describe an all-arthroscopic AMIC technique. The benefits of an all-arthroscopic procedure include smaller incisions with less soft-tissue dissection, better visualization of the joint, and a quicker recovery compared with open surgery. The use of matrix to support cartilage regeneration promotes good-quality cartilage tissue with satisfactory long-term outcomes. Our all-arthroscopic AMIC technique uses a type I-type III porcine collagen matrix (Chondro-Gide; Geistlich Pharma, Wolhusen, Switzerland) and is characterized by 2 different arthroscopic surgical phases. First, adequate exposure is achieved through use of a Hintermann spreader (Integra LifeSciences, Plainsboro, NJ) with sufficient joint distraction and wet lesion preparation. The second surgical step is performed dry, involving matrix placement and fixation. The all-arthroscopic AMIC technique for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus allows a very precise reconstruction in the case of cartilage defects and avoids the need for a more invasive operation associated with higher morbidity and a longer surgical time.

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.

Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus With Cell-free Polymer-based Scaffold in Single-Step Arthroscopic Surgery.

Project description:Arthroscopic techniques have recently gained popularity for the treatment of osteochondral defects of the talus. The microfracture procedure is the most commonly applied arthroscopic technique. However, it is not effective for the treatment of larger lesions. Tissue-engineered scaffolds have been used for cartilage regeneration arthroscopically, and promising results have been reported. We treated larger osteochondral lesions of the talus with polyglycolic acid-hyaluronan scaffold biomaterial (Chondrotissue, BioTissue AG, Zurich, Switzerland) in a single-step arthroscopic surgery. Traction methods and fibrin glue were avoided.

All-Arthroscopic Osteochondral Autograft Transfer Technique for Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Talus.

Project description:Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans of the talus can be a challenging condition to treat in young patients. Previously described osteochondral autograft transfer techniques for medial talar lesions have been done via open approach, often requiring medial malleolus osteotomy. The purpose of this article is to present an all-arthroscopic osteochondral autograft transfer technique for a medial talar osteochondritis dissecans lesion in a skeletally immature patient.
