Category:AnkleIntroduction/Purpose:The aim of the study was to assess the 5-year-follow-up after matrix-associated stem cell transplantation (MAST) in chondral lesions at the ankle as part of a complex surgical approach.Methods:In a prospective consecutive non-controlled clinical follow-up study, all patients with chondral defect that were treated with MAST from April1 2009 to September 30, 2011 were analyzed. Size and location of the chondral defects and the Visual-Analogue-Scale Foot and Ankle (VAS FA) before treatment and at follow-up were analysed. Stem cell-rich blood was harvested during the procedure from the ipsilateral pelvic bone marrow with a Jamshidi needle (10 x 3 mm, Cardinal, Dublin, OH, USA) and a special syringe (Arthrex-ACP, Arthrex, Naples, FL, USA) through a stab incision. The syringe was centrifuged (10 minutes, 1,500 rotations per minute). The supernatant was used to impregnate a collagen I/III matrix (Chondro-Gide, Geistlich, Wollhusen, Switzerland) that was cut to the size of the c...
