Since the articular cartilage surrounding the site of implantation does not always have the normal thickness desirable for successful engraftment, there may be benefit in combining ACI with OAT, which provides immediate restoration of condylar contour and mechanical function. 2015;6(1):12-19. Last Review06/20/2022. forward shift of more than 8 mm on a lateral radiograph is considered diagnostic for an ATFL tear. Am J Sports Med. Hallux Valgus Coleman block testing used to distinguish between fixed and flexible hindfoot varus. foot collapse) can be distinguished from congenital pes planus by carefully assessing the calcaneus and midtarsal joint: 6 After abrasion of the fragments, cylindrical osteochondral bone plugs were transferred from a lateral femoral condyle. For large lesions (greater than 1.2 cm), preservation and/or reconstruction of the articular surface should be selected, such as bone-peg fixation of the lateral part of the fragment and OAT from the knee. Synthetic bone void fillers can be categorized into 3 groups: Guney and co-workers (2016) compared medium-term functional effects of 3 different treatment modalities in patients with osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). 2018;102(2):191-199. The patient is then evaluated by a keen orthopedic resident in the emergency room who describes the zookeeper's injuries to his chief. In the study group, the Tegner, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC), knee society score, and visual analog scale pain scores improved from pre-operatively 3.2 ( 0.8), 60.9 ( 41.6), 133.6 ( 27.1), and 4.8 ( 2.3) points, respectively, to 3.9 ( 0.6), 35.5 ( 27.1), 177.8 ( 16.6), and 3.3 ( 2.9) points, respectively, at the time of the second follow-up; the control group's pre-operative score values came to 2.8 ( 0.9), 73.3 ( 50.2), 123.8 ( 41.5), and 5.3 ( 2.7) points, respectively, and changed to 3.6 ( 0.8), 41.4 ( 28.8), 179.3 ( 17.5), and 3.1 ( 2.0) points, respectively, at the time of the second follow-up. Overall, 86.7 % of OLTPs were associated with a traumatic history and/or previous ankle sprain. She notices it immediately on getting out of bed in the morning, but the pain improves after a few steps. However, cartilage lesions larger than 600 mm2 were associated with increasing fibrous tissue formation and fissuring between the grafts and the host tissues and poor results. Radiographs. [citation needed], Individuals with pes cavus frequently report foot pain, which can lead to a significant limitation in function. Patient ages ranged from 10 to 45 years. There was no significant difference in the magnitude of improvement or overall scores according to the type of surgery for stable or unstable lesions. A clinical image and lateral foot radiograph are shown in Figures A and B, respectively. The JOA score significantly improved in patients with centralized, lateral localized, and lateral widespread types of OCD; ROM significantly improved in patients with centralized and lateral localized, and they returned to playing sports within 6 months. They stated that osteochondral transplantation is an evolving technology with a weak evidence base, and that the long-term safety and effectiveness are uncertain. forefoot adduction is seen on the AP radiograph. Although the cartilage layer had good integration, it showed high heterogeneity and no filling of the subchondral bone layer. Patient demographics, osteochondral lesion and graft characteristics, the number of patients, and timing of return to competitive activity were collected and evaluated. The TruFit plug is a bi-phasic scaffold designed to stimulate cartilage and subchondral bone formation. Because of the poor methodological quality of the studies, it is not possible to make specific recommendations on its use, considering it as experimental.". Jakob RP, Franz T, Gautier E, Mainil-Varlet P. Autologous osteochondral grafting in the knee: Indication, results, and reflections. Clin Orthop Relat Res. The authors concluded that the treatment of patellar cartilage injuries remains a difficult clinical challenge regardless of the surgical intervention chosen, with relatively high re-operation and revision rates. He is treated with ankle arthroplasty but continues to have pain and limited ambulation 10 months following surgery. MTP joint arthrodesis with structural bone graft .

Which of the following is not a contraindication to hyperbaric oxygen treatment for this patient? The continuity of the cartilage layer between the osteochondral graft and the capitellum was shown on MRI taken at 12 months post-operatively. } J Orthop. These researchers stated that areas for future research include the following: the effect of patient factors and additional pathologies on outcomes; larger or deeper lesion treatment; more direct comparisons of outcomes between kissing or co-existing lesions and isolated lesions; and direct comparison of treatments, such as microfracture, bone marrow-derived cell transplantation (BMDCT), and osteochondral autografts/allografts. Non-operative treatment includes physical therapy, focusing on strengthening of the gluteal muscles and the vastus medialis obliquus, and patellar taping or bracing. 2001;20(2):343-364. In this study, these investigators reviewed only the cases with minimum follow-up of 5 years: 5 patients with mean age 64.4 years (minimum 38, maximum 80). Vascularized MFC autografts provided superior pain relief along with improvement of physical function in patients with talar OCL stage II and III compared with CBG. Both these studies included substantial proportions of participants who had prior surgeries (94% and 45% respectively). Bekkers JE, Inklaar M, Saris DB. 2018;46(4):826-831. These investigators carried out a literature search to find studies published from January 1996 till July 2016 using PubMed (Medline), Embase, CDSR, DARE and CENTRAL. J Pediatr Orthop. Cartilage. Osteochondral autografts harvested from the knee were transplanted to centralized (13 patients) or lateral localized (9 patients) OCD lesions. Pichon-Riviere A, Augustovski F, Alcaraz A, et al. A total of 20 studies with a total of 381 lesions were included. They returned fully to their sports activities within 6 months of surgery. In many cases the clinical presentation is asymptomatic. J Foot Ankle Surg. Colvin and West (2008) stated that recurrent patellar instability can result from osseous abnormalities, such as patella alta, a distance of greater than 20 mm between the tibial tubercle and the trochlear groove, and trochlear dysplasia, or it can result from soft-tissue abnormalities, such as a torn medial patellofemoral ligament or a weakened vastus medialis obliquus. Patients undergoing autologous mosaicplasty had a higher rate of returning to sport (p = 0.006), lower EQ-5D pain scores (p = 0.048) and higher KOOS activities of daily living (p = 0.029) scores. #backTop { A total of 13 patients (all females; mean age of 16.7 years; range of 10 to 38) were included and followed-up for a mean duration of 67.2 months (range of 60 to 100). Acta Orthop Belg. There is a functional relationship between the structure of the arch of the foot and the biomechanics of the lower leg. Long-term improvement in clinical and radiographic outcomes of PRP-augmented scaffolds was demonstrated in 1 human study. In view of the uncertainties about the efficacy of the procedure, it should not be used without special arrangements for consent and audit or research. 25% 2004;35(12):1286-1292. A lateral radiograph of the foot is shown in Figure A. The MRI scans in the CBG group demonstrated 9 partial mal-perfusions and 1 hyper-vascularized bone graft, whereas the MFC group had 8 well-vascularized grafts incorporated into the talus and 1 partial mal-perfusion. There is some evidence of short-term efficacy, but data on long-term efficacy are inadequate. Lynch TS, Patel RM, Benedick A, et al. Clin Biomech 2001a; 16: 341-7, Builder MA, Marr SJ. border-width:0; QID Resection of coalition at the middle facet if <20 hindfoot valgus is present. There were significantly higher failure rates in the MF group compared to ACI group at 10-year follow-up. 3. Despite numerous anecdotal reports and hypothetical descriptions, very little rigorous scientific data exist on the assessment or treatment of pes cavus. In commissioning the assessment, the Program stated: "Significant questions remain about the safety, efficacy and effectiveness, and cost effectiveness of OATS/mosaicplasty cartilage surgery. An avulsion fracture is a failure of bone in which a bone fragment is pulled away from its main body by soft tissue that is attached to it. Because of the relatively high cost of ACI and the knee morbidity seen in OATS,the authorsconcluded that BMS is the treatment of choice for primary osteochondral talar lesions. Numerous surgical techniques have been developed to address focal cartilage defects. The significance of this cystic change was unclear. 2006;19(3):169-173. The proportion of the patient population treated successfully was noted, and percentages were calculated. J Knee Surg. Furthermore, it was not possible to perform a formal meta-analysis. Its goal is to produce a smooth gliding articular surface of hyaline or hyaline-like cartilage in weight-bearing surfaces of the knee. Elbow ROM significantly improved, including improvement in flexion from a pre-operative average of 126 to a post-operative average of 141 (p = 0.009) and improvement in extension from a pre-operative average of 21 to a post-operative average of 5 (p = 0.006). Magnussen RA, Dunn WR, Carey JL, Spindler KP. Direct treatment of full-thickness chondral defects in goats using cartilage fragments on a resorbable scaffold produced hyaline-like repair tissue at 6 months. Although the technique is not technically demanding, the use of fresh allografts carries considerable logistics limitations. Prospective evaluation of concurrent meniscus transplantation and articular cartilage repair: Minimum 2-year follow-up. Partial weight-bearing was allowed 4 weeks following surgery, which was progressed to full weight-bearing after another 2 weeks. "Although preliminary reports" of autogenous osteochondral transplantation (OATS or mosaicplasty) "appear favorable, only limited outcome data are available on this technology.". In a case-series study, these researchers examined functional outcomes and survivorship of the grafts among patients who underwent OCA for patellar cartilage injuries. list-style-type: lower-roman; Osteochondral autograft transplantation for osteochondritis dissecans of the capitellum in nonthrowing athletes. Moreover, these researchers stated that the findings of this study including the summative analysis on the clinical, radiologic as well as return to sport outcomes should be interpreted with caution. Failure to correct hindfoot valgus. More invasive methods were administered in comparison with primary treatment. These researchers examined therapeutic options, failure rates, and provided strategies for successful revision surgery. However, these patients had lower clinical outcomes, which were represented by the lower functional outcomes in this study. Clin Orthop Relat Res 1983; 181: 52-63, Coleman SS, Chesnut WJ. Lambers KTA, Dahmen J, Reilingh ML, et al. A typical overall protocol is as follows 1: The knee is flexed 20-30 (flexion of the knee tightens the extensor tendons, decreasing the chance of anisotropy occurring in a lax tendon): The knee is flexed 20-30, with external rotation: Often examined with the patient prone and the knee extended, thereby gaining access to the dynamic fat-filled popliteal fossa: A number of knee abnormalities can be identified on ultrasound, including: ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads, Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys. or etiology (n.s.). Small holes are drilled through the lesion and the newly harvested plugs are inserted into the holes. The remaining 2 patients had changed sporting activities before surgery and did not return to baseball, despite satisfactory clinical results. Etiology and management. Potential areas of bias include selection of the included studies and reporting of the outcome measures in a qualitative fashion given an inability to perform formal meta-analyses. Aurich M, Venbrocks RA, Fuhrmann RA. In a systematic review, Lambers and colleagues (2018) identified the most effective surgical treatment for talar osteochondral defects after failed primary surgery. 2021;49(14):4018-4029. Clinical success rates were calculated per separate study and pooled per treatment strategy. Minimum follow-up was 1 year (mean of1.7 years; range of1 to 3 years). A clinical photograph and radiograph are provided in Figures A and B. Coleman block testing demonstrates correction of the deformity. The groups did not differ with regard to change in baseline AOFAS score; however, improvement in VAS pain scores was significantly better in the mosaicplasty group when compared to the MF group (change from baseline, -5.8 1.0 versus -3.2 2.9, p = 0.018). Participating providers are independent contractors in private practice and are neither employees nor agents of Aetna or its affiliates. A total of 76 clinical studies, including 1,463 patients, were suitable for inclusion. The orthopedic surgeon uses an apple-corer like instrument to core out a circle of damaged cartilage and replaces it with a piece of normal cartilage from a less important part of the same knee. Although the demographic information collected pre-operatively did not differ between the overall cohort and separate clinical and MRI groups, other possible confounders may have influenced the results of the intervention: history of patellar instability, activity level, sports participation, smoking status, or post-operative compliance with rehabilitation protocols. This technique addresses both cartilage and osseous pathology with minimal morbidity and provides a good biological restorative option for patients with isolated glenoid osteochondral defects. 26(7):540-4, 2005. A unified grading system (UGS; grades 1 to 4) was developed from existing validated classification systems to allow a comparison of patients with similar-grade OCD lesions in different studies according to their treatment. The member is skeletally mature with documented closure of growth plates (e.g., 15 years or older); The member is not considered a candidate for total knee replacement (i.e., member is under 55 years of age); The member has disabling symptoms limiting ambulation that have not been relieved by appropriate non-surgical therapies (e.g., medication, physical therapy); The member has focal, full thickness (grade III or IV) unipolar lesions on the weight bearing surface of the femoral condyles or trochlea; The member has minimal to absent degenerative changes in the surrounding articular cartilage (Outerbridge grade II or less) and normal appearing hyaline cartilage surrounding the border of the defect; Stable and aligned knee with intact meniscus and normal joint space on X-ray (a corrective procedure in combination with, or prior to, chondrocyte implantation may be necessary to ensure stability, alignment and normal weight distribution within the joint); The opposing articular surface should be generally free of disease or injury. .headerBar { In a retrospective, case-series study, these researchers examined clinical and imaging results of patients treated with OAT for high-grade patellar defects. Autologous osteochondral transplantation for the treatment of chondral defects of the knee. OATS was performed by an anconeus muscle-splitting approach; donor grafts were harvested from the lateral femoral condyle by small arthrotomy. .newText { [9], Among the cases of neuromuscular pes cavus, 50% have been attributed to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, CMT,[10] which is the most common type of inherited neuropathy with an incidence of 1 per 2,500 persons affected. Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is a complex pathology defined by the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot with continued progressive deformity of the foot and ankle 5.It combines multiple static and dynamic deformities, with flattening of the medial arch, eversion of calcaneus, and abduction of forefoot relative to the hindfoot 9. background-color: #663399; Kirsch et al (2016) stated that OCD of the capitellum is a painful condition, which often affects young throwing athletes. The use of a sliding hip screw construct has been shown to have what benefit compared to multiple cannulated screws? Which of the following is not a contraindication to hyperbaric oxygen treatment for this patient? Some studies reported outcomes other than the RTS rate and the mean time to RTS, reporting scores from various outcome measures instead. The LEFS improved from 53.4 13.1 to 62.6 16.2 CBG and from 53 9.3 to 72.4 7.4 MFC (p = 0.114). Hindfoot Talar Neck FX Talus Fracture (other than neck) varus or valgus force usually disrupted PLC and PCL. For larger lesions (greater than 4 cm(2)), ACI or OCA have shown the best results, with OCA being an option for large osteochondritis dissecans lesions and post-traumatic defects. Level of Evidence = IV. Two relevant publications, both reporting satisfying results concerning post-operative functional outcome, were found. There is currently insufficient evidence to support the safety and effectiveness of synthetic resorbable polymers as an alternative to allograft or autograft for the repair of osteochondral defects. Furthermore, all patients returned functional questionnaires at a median of 9 months post-operatively (range of 5 to 27 months). } Which of the following is the most appropriate initial management? Hallux Valgus Hallux Varus DJD & Hallux Rigidus occurs with forefoot fixed and hindfoot or leg rotating. 3% (131/4569) L 2 A radiograph of the chest shows a small pneumothorax which is being observed and does not require a thoracostomy tube. Sharpe JR, Ahmed SU, Fleetcroft JP, Martin R. The treatment of osteochondral lesions using a combination of autologous chondrocyte implantation and autograft: Three-year follow-up. The authors concluded that a synthetic implant can improve symptoms and joint function, especially for small lesions, only for a short period of time. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg. The non-failures (48 %) were followed for a median of 15 yeas (1 to 18). 2020;59(2):307-313. The mean time to RTS ranged from 13 to 26 weeks, although no pooling was possible for this outcome measure. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. Level of Evidence = IV. In the OAT group, the survival rate stayed higher than 80 % for the first 7 years, and higher than 60 % for 15 years, while the survival rate dropped to less than 80 % within 12 months, and to less than 60 % within 3 years in the MFX group, log rank (Mantel-Cox) 20.295 (p < 0.001). They stated that further well-designed comparative studies are needed to elucidate differences between the various cartilage restoration techniques for focal patellar defects and further characterize outcomes after the use of condylar donor tissue for patellar defects. Most studies were evidence level IV, and the mean MINORS score was 8.6 (range of 8 to 10). A total of 7 articles met the inclusion criteria. The authors concluded that mosaicplasty and hydrogel containing B-ADSCs promoted the repair of large cartilage defects by regenerating hyaline cartilage and repairing dead spaces between osteochondral grafts and donor-site defects, thus improving the feasibility and success rate of 1-stage complete repair surgery for large osteochondral defects. 2015;31(4):746-754. 2018;10:10-16. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. Am J Sports Med. Saunders. 2006;36(10):739-750. 20(9):877-82, 2005. The authors concluded that this study showed that for skeletally immature patients presenting with symptomatic OLTs, conservative treatment was clinically successful in 4 out of 10 children, whereas the various surgical therapeutic options were found to be successful in 7 to 10 out of 10 children. recommended views. They stated that prospective and comparative long-term clinical trials with large patient cohorts (including the use of MRI) have to be performed to fully support the use of this technique. Hindfoot Talar Neck FX Valgus migration of the fracture. Weight-bearing lateral X-ray showing the measurement of calcaneal pitch, which is an angle of the calcaneus and the inferior aspect of the foot, with different sources giving different reference points. Osteochondral autografts have been examined as an alternative to allografts for the treatment of osteochondral defects. Furthermore, osteochondral autografts/allografts were not discussed as therapeutic options in this systematic. The cartilage defects included the patella (n = 16) and the femoral trochlea (n = 3). MRI scans obtained at a mean of 11.4 months (range of 6 to 22 months) post-operatively showed a mean total OCAMRISS score of 9.0 (range of 7 to 11); mean bone, cartilage, and ancillary sub-scores were 2.6, 3.7, and 2.6, respectively. cursor: pointer; A post-reduction radiograph is seen in Figure C. Which of the following is the most appropriate treatment at this time? 2015;2(4):188-191. Outcome analysis was performed with VAS, AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score, Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), and contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) scans. angle formed by tibial plafond & talar dome is measured as inversion force is applied to hindfoot (5 deg is normal for most ankles) Hallux valgus deformity. The Committee stated that osteochondral allograft/autograft transplantation is not covered for joints other than the knee. Pes cavus is a multiplanar foot deformity characterised by an abnormally high medial longitudinal arch. In the future directions, there is no comparative study of OAT from the knee and rib. Gudas R, Kalesinskas RJ, Kimtys V, et al. The authors concluded that OCT is an effective therapy even for large chondral defects greater than 3 cm(2). Therefore, these researchers were unable to aggregate the majority of the data or carry out any meaningful meta-analyses, and conclusions of the studies should be interpreted with caution. 2016;40(5):959-964. forward shift of more than 8 mm on a lateral radiograph is considered diagnostic for an ATFL tear. z-index: 99; 10 degrees plantarflexion, 0-5 degrees hindfoot valgus, 5-10 degrees external rotation. In each patient the stage of the osteochondral lesion was Outerbridge grade IV with a mean size of the affected area of 150 mm2. Mosaicplasty for knee cartilage defects. To capture a larger number of patients with OCA using FCA, these researchers included patients receiving treatment for bipolar lesions. The mean clinical rating score improved significantly, from 101 to 190 by the latest follow-up (p < 0.001). Arthroscopic options for regenerative treatment of cartilage defects in the shoulder. These investigators carried out a systematic review according to the PRISMA guidelines. The majority of studies are in populations less than 50 years of age. Hindfoot Talar Neck FX Valgus migration of the fracture. subtalar stiffness is a common complication. An attempt at reduction in the emergency department is unsuccessful. results. Objective [median change (IQR) = 5 degrees (0 to 15 degrees)], subjective [25 degrees (15 to 40 degrees)], and overall [35 degrees (15 to 45 degrees)] Timmerman scores improved significantly (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively).

Clinical and radiological outcome for Trufit Plug in the treatment of chondral and osteochondral lesions at a minimum of 2 years. In general, treatment of articular defect of the knee by mosaicplasty entails transplantation of small cylindrical osteochondral grafts (4 to 10 mm in diameter, 15 to 20 mm deep) from the less weight-bearing periphery of the femoral condyles at the level of the patello-femoral joint, and transplanting them in a mosaic-like fashion into a prepared defect site on the weight-bearing surfaces of the same knee. Arthroscopy. According to the post-operative AOFAS scores, 1 case obtained excellent results, 9 were classified as good, and 2 were fair; VAS score improved from a pre-operative value of 6.9 1.4 points to 1.2 1.1 points at last follow-up (p < 0.05). The smaller the initial chondral defect was in the study group, the better the WOMAC score values became (p < 0.05). Few data are currently available on this topic and, moreover, most existing data were obtained from mixed groups and populations; it is therefore difficult to outline a scheme for the treatment of JODT. Yamagami N, Yamamoto S, Aoki A, et al. Wyland and Beicker (2016) stated that glenoid osteochondral defects can be a significant source of pain and disability in an active population. Diagnosis can be made clinically with loss of medial arch of the foot which may progress to hindfoot valgus, forefoot abduction and subsequent development of midfoot osteoarthritis. Quarch VM, Enderle E, Lotz J, Frosch KH. These investigators concluded that the hybrid ACI/OATS technique provides a promising surgical approach for the treatment of patients with large degenerative osteochondral defects. An assessment of mosaicplasty for knee cartilage defects from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE, 2006) concluded: "Current evidence suggests that there are no major safety concerns associated with mosaicplasty for knee cartilage defects.

Osteochondral autologous transplantation for the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects of the shoulder. [19], Despite various presentations and descriptions of pes cavus, not all incarnations are characterised by an abnormally high medial longitudinal arch, gait disturbances, and resultant foot pathology. The authors stated that the findings of this study should be considered with its limitations. The authors concluded that clinical and radiological results significantly improved in a longer follow-up time. All 3 patients were treated with transplantation of an osteochondral autograft harvested from the lateral femoral condyle. Children with high arches who have difficulty walking may wear specially-designed insoles, which are available in various sizes and can be made to order. There was no correlation of the clinical results with the underlying diagnoses, including osteonecrosis, osteochondritis dissecans and traumatic cartilage defect, or a size of the lesion smaller than 600 mm2. Arthroscopy. It was hypothesized that both PRP and BMC augmentation would result in improved outcomes in osteochondral knee surgery in both animal and human models. Sometimes children are born with flat feet (congenital). Horas U, Pelinkovic D, Herr G, et al. This reveals an abnormal connection between which two bones, and what is the next step in treatment? 2% (40/2555) 5. Autologous chondrocyte implantation is not available in every country.

Long-term survival after microfracture and mosaicplasty for knee articular cartilage repair: A comparative study between two treatments cohorts. There were no post-operative complications. The authors concluded that different surgical options for talar OCDs allowed for adequate RTS times and rates; RTS rates decreased when considering patients' return to pre-injury levels versus return at any level. Patellar allografting survivorship was 78.1 % at 5 and 10 years and 55.8 % at 15 years. The same pattern was found in a subgroup of patients (n = 134) of same age (less than 51 years) and size of treated lesion (less than 500 mm2), log rank (Mantel-Cox) 10.738 (p = 0.001). Diagnosis is made with orthogonal radiographs of the tibia with CT scan often required to assess for intra-articular extension. Arthroscopy. Autologous chondrocyte transplantation in the ankle joint. The few histological data available confirmed these results. The clinical correlation of this finding was unclear. Furthermore, an UpToDate review on Management of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) (Hergenroeder and Harvey, 2022) states that The operative management of OCD is based upon case series and expert opinion. li.bullet { A total of 57 patients with median follow-up of 44.8 months (range of 24 to 73) were included. All patients achieved bony union in 3 months. Failure to correct hindfoot valgus. The methodological quality of the studies was poor. Collagen type II staining was used to further evaluate the repair tissue composition. Ultrasound of the knee allows high-resolution imaging of superficial knee anatomy while simultaneously allowing dynamic evaluation of some of the tendons and ligaments. These investigators performed a PubMed-based literature search about the combination of cartilage restoration principles. The median duration of follow-up was 42 months (range of 12 to 84).

These investigators stated that patellar allografting was a useful salvage therapeutic option for patellar cartilage injuries. An attempt at reduction in the emergency department is unsuccessful. Sometimes children are born with flat feet (congenital). The failure of bone most commonly results from an acute event with the application of usually sudden, tensile force to the bone through the soft A clinical image and lateral foot radiograph are shown in Figures A and B, respectively. Pes cavus is a multiplanar foot deformity characterised by an abnormally high medial longitudinal arch. What is the most appropriate definitive treatment? 7% (90/1292) 4. An increasing rate of problems is noted when using quantitative instead of qualitative parameters, and when donor site morbidity is the focus of attention, affecting up to more than 50 % of the patients, especially for an OAT procedure. 11% (136/1292) 3. Plain radiograph. Clinical assessment was performed with the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), activities of daily living of the Knee Outcome Survey (ADL), and Short Form-36 (SF-36) at baseline and most recent follow-up. Findings and Decision. Similarly, weak dorsiflexors are overpowered by stronger plantarflexors, causing a plantarflexed first metatarsal and anterior pes cavus. fusion in excessive valgus increases the risk of IP joint degeneration. The authors concluded that OAT provided favorable outcomes for centralized and lateral localized elbow OCD lesions; however, for lateral widespread OCD lesions, reconstruction of the entire capitellar lesion area may be necessary. Case reports and reports based on expert opinion were excluded. [1], There are many other symptoms believed to be related to the cavus foot. Vannini and colleagues (2014) stated that juvenile osteochondritis dissecans of the talus (JODT) affects the subchondral bone primarily and, in a skeletally immature population, articular cartilage secondarily.

Although the results of many reconstructive procedures (e.g., autologous osteochondral mosaicplasty and osteochondral allograft transplantation) are quite encouraging with early follow-up, the ultimate goal is to prevent long-term degenerative arthritis. 20111118B. Osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation has been used as a therapeutic option for a range of cartilage disorders. Autologous chondrocytes may have strongest potential to generate high-quality repair tissue within the defective region, in particular when large diameter defects are present. Sato K, Iwamoto T, Matsumura N, et al. Comparative evaluation of autologous chondrocyte implantation and mosaicplasty: A multicentered randomized clinical trial. At mid-term follow-up, most patients reported good and excellent results regarding symptoms and activity levels. Autologous osteochondral mosaicplasty or TruFit plugs for cartilage repair. J Orthop Res. text-decoration: line-through; Patient satisfaction was assessed at latest follow-up; 17 of the 28 knees (60.7 %) had further surgery after the OCA transplantation; 8 of the 28 knees (28.6 %) were considered OCA failures (4 conversions to total knee arthroplasty [TKA], 2 conversions to patella-femoral knee arthroplasty, 1 revision OCA, 1 patellectomy). There are multiple possible approaches to imaging the knee with ultrasound. Maruyama et al (2018) noted that OCD of the humeral capitellum is a critical elbow injury in adolescent overhead throwing athletes; however, its etiology remains unknown. Hindfoot Talar Neck FX After closed reduction, the elbow is unstable with valgus stress at 40 degrees of flexion. Mosaicplasty is a reconstructive bone grafting procedure for the treatment of articular defects of the knee. Olympia, WA: Washington State Health Care Authority; August 10, 2011. Vundelinckx et al (2012) reported that under arthroscopic control and guided by fluoroscopy, a TruFit Plug was successfully implanted to repair an osteochondral lesion of the head of the femur. Foot Ankle Clin. Lin et al (2020) noted that fresh OCA has good outcomes in the knee; however, donor tissue for patellar OCA is limited. Associated conditions. 4. PubMed, Medline, and Embase were searched for studies relating to PRP or BMC and treatment of osteochondral defects of the knee, from database inception to February 1, 2020. Maruyama M, Takahara M, Satake H. Diagnosis and treatment of osteochondritis dissecans of the humeral capitellum. Dekker et al (2019) noted that chondral defects of the patella-femoral joint remain a difficult-to-treat pathology with limited long-term results. An avulsion fracture is a failure of bone in which a bone fragment is pulled away from its main body by soft tissue that is attached to it. 2020;11(1):71-76. Matricali GA, Dereymaeker GP, Luyten FP. These researchers stated that OAT is a good alternative to treat high-grade patellar chondral defects, especially among young patients. 2021;9(11):23259671211049756. Ipsilateral midfoot and/or hindfoot degenerative changes. Outcomes of surgical treatment for osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow: Evaluation by lesion location. .strikeThrough { In a retrospective study, these investigators examined the long-term functional and MRI outcomes of the TruFit Plug for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). At final follow-up, all donor knees were asymptomatic with full ROM and strength. Clinical outcomes, including elbow ROM, Timmerman and Andrews clinical rating score, donor-site morbidity, responses to a questionnaire regarding a return to sporting activities, and radiographic findings, were evaluated. 2% (40/2555) 5. The authors concluded that MFX articular cartilage repairs failed more often and earlier than the OAT repairs, both in the whole cohort and in a subgroup of patients matched for age and size of treated lesion, indicating that the OAT repair is the more durable. margin-top: 38px; Azam A, Forster M, Robertson A. The 2 treatment groups were, CPB 0247 - Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation, CPB 0364 - Allograft Transplants of the Extremities, CPB 0411 - Bone and Tendon Graft Substitutes and Adjuncts. The mean AOFAS score improved from a pre-operative score of 47.2 10.7 to 84.4 8 (p < 0.05). The authors concluded that there are no data available that support superiority or equality of TruFit compared to conservative treatment or mosaicplasty / micro-fracture (MF). Ten months later, he returns complaining of limited range of motion and continued pain. The patient's radiograph is shown in figure A. Hindfoot varus . The hallux valgus angle (HVA) is measured at 31 degrees and the intermetarsal angle(IMA) is measured at 16 degrees. [2], In the pes calcaneocavus foot, which is seen primarily following paralysis of the triceps surae due to poliomyelitis, the calcaneus is dorsiflexed and the forefoot is plantarflexed. The 2 most important drawbacks were the high number of methodologically low-quality studies that were included and the substantial heterogeneity in the methodology of the included studies. The mean pre-operative IKDC score was 47.2 +/- 14.0 and improved to 74.4 +/- 12.3 (p = 0.028). Evidence that compares outcomes among the different types of operative treatment is lacking. Diagnosis is made with orthogonal radiographs of the tibia with CT scan often required to assess for intra-articular extension. Among the 20 knees (71.4 %) with grafts in-situ, the mean follow-up duration was 9.7 years (range of 1.8 to 30.1 years). Martinoli C. Musculoskeletal ultrasound: technical guidelines. These researchers performeda literature search and identified5 randomized, controlled trials and1 prospective, comparative trial evaluating these treatment techniques in 421 patients. Clin Sports Med. After a mean of 32.6 months (8 to 47), the mean Constant score increased significantly. IKDC, Knee Outcomes Survey-Activities of Daily Living (KOS-ADL), and pain VAS scores were collected pre-operatively and at minimum 2 years post-operatively, and outcomes were compared using the paired t-test. Skelly AC, Ecker ED, Schenk-Kisser JM, et al. Knee. Although most studies included in this review were of Level IV evidence, the mean MINORS scores were reasonably good. Patellar chondral defects had a median size of 180 mm2 (range of 64 to 250 mm2), and patients received a median of 1 autograft (range of 1 to 3). Included were 20 studies with 426 OLTPs; 4 studies were LOE II and 16 studies were LOE IV. Foot (Edinb). QID: 4540 FIGURES: A 20 degrees hindfoot valgus, 5-10 degrees external rotation. Two authors screened the search results separately and conducted quality assessment independently using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Ultrasound of the knee allows high-resolution imaging of superficial knee anatomy while simultaneously allowing dynamic evaluation of some of the tendons and ligaments. CaAlg hydrogel containing bone morphogenetic protein 4-enhanced adipose-derived stem cells combined with osteochondral mosaicplasty facilitated the repair of large osteochondral defects. Traumatic lesion was the most common cause in the included patients. (SBQ06TR.62) A 35-year-old zookeeper fell 10 feet while preparing an exhibit for a grand reopening, landing on his left arm. Interpretation of MRI images in the early post-operative period was very difficult: in the early months history and clinical examination prevail in the evaluation. ", More recently, an assessment of mosaicplasty for knee cartilage defects by the Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (Pichon-Riviere, et al., 2009) concluded:"At present, there is not good quality evidence that would allow the assessment of mosaicplasty versus other techniques. Unique and customized search strategies were formulated in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and CENTRAL.
