【 摘 要 】

Category:ArthroscopyIntroduction/Purpose:The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of using allograft cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) as an adjuvant when arthroscopically treating osteochondral lesions of the talar dome (OLT).Methods:Between May 2012 and September 2014, 22 patients presented with an OLT amenable to arthroscopic surgery. All patients received an excision, micro-fracture, and injectable allograft cartilage ECM (BioCartilage, Arthrex, Naples, FL) at the OLT. Preoperative and postoperative function and pain was graded using the Foot and Ankle Ability Measures (FAAM) and a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) respectively. At 6 months from surgery, post-operative radiographs and computed tomography were assessed for osteochondral healing. Final radiographs were evaluated for OLT recurrence and ankle degenerative changes. Data regarding postoperative complications and revision surgeries were also recorded.Results:All 22 patients that received arthro...
