Background: A recent one-step arthroscopic technique based on bone marrow–derived cell transplantation has achieved good results in repairing osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs), overcoming some drawbacks older techniques. Purpose: To report after 4 years a series patients who underwent repair talar dome, as well capability magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using T2-mapping sequence to predict clinical outcome. Study Design: Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods: Forty-nine (age [mean...
ankle sprains are a common sports-related injury. A 20% of acute results in chronic instability, requiring surgery. Aim this paper is to report the series 38 patients treated for lateral instability with anatomic reconstruction.thirty-eight were enrolled study. Seventeen underwent surgical repair using Brostrom-modified technique, while remaining reconstruction autologous or allogenic graft.at mean follow-up 5 years AOFAS score improved from 66.1 ± 5.3 92.2 5.6.the findings study confirm...
Introduction: ankle sprains are a common sportsrelated injury.A 20% of acute results in chronic instability, requiring surgery.Aim this paper is to report the series 38 patients treated for lateral instability with anatomic reconstruction.Materials and methods: thirty-eight were enrolled study.Seventeen underwent surgical repair using Brostrom-modified technique, while remaining reconstruction autologous or allogenic graft.Results: at mean follow-up 5 years AO-FAS score improved from 66.1 ±...
Treatment of partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears requires ACL remnant preservation. The goal this study was to compare the outcome anatomic reconstruction torn bundle with nonanatomic augmentation using over-the-top femoral route. Fifty-two athletes (mean age, 23.3 years) lesions underwent (n=26) or (n=26). Intraoperative damage healthy that required a standard occurred in 2 patients group. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Tegner and arthrometer evaluation...
The management of moderate and severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis is still an issue. main concern represented by the choice intra-articular or extra-articular osteotomy to correct deformity. Theoretically, allows best correction, but it technically demanding involves a higher risk avascular necrosis (AVN); conversely, intertrochanteric (ITO) easier lower early complications, may lead femoroacetabular impingement, resulting in osteoarthritis need for total hip replacement (THR).The aim...
Anterior soft tissue impingement of the ankle has been described based on etiology and location, but no classification reported. Arthroscopic treatment is usually considered effective, even if behavior different forms not clear. The purpose this study was to analyze factors affecting long-term results.Forty-two patients with a mean age 32.6 years were arthroscopically treated between 2004 2008. Impingement lesions identified according clinical examination confirmed by MRI. Soft detected...
Background: Severe posttraumatic ankle arthritis poses a reconstructive challenge in the young and active patient. Bipolar fresh total osteochondral allograft (BFTOA) may represent an intriguing alternative to arthrodesis prosthetic replacement. The purpose of this article was evaluate outcomes BFTOA performed through anterior approach investigate parameters influencing results. Methods: A 26 patients (18 males 8 females with mean age 34.9 ± 7.7 years) underwent BFTOA. prepared help...
Purpose: ankle injuries make up 15% of all sports and osteochondral lesions the talus (OLTs) are an increasingly frequent problem in active patients. There exist no widely shared guidelines on OLT treatment athletic population. The aim this paper is to review existing literature evidence surgical OLTs athletes, order determine current state art specific population, underlining both limits potential strategies used. Methods: a systematic was performed focusing different types used for...
The purpose of this study is to (1) report the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes a nonanatomical anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using an over-the-top (OTT) femoral route (2) compare single-strand (1SHG) double-strand (2SHG) hamstrings graft reconstruction. Fifty-one consecutive patients (mean age, 29.2±3.8 years) underwent ACL OTT passage. Twenty 1SHG 31 2SHG International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS),...
Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans of the talus (JOCDT) is a focal idiopathic lesion primarily subchondral bone leading to subsequent cartilaginous damage. The majority papers dealing with JOCDT reported heterogeneous case studies patients treated different cartilage repair techniques. purpose this paper retrospectively review both clinical and radiologic results among 7 affected by arthroscopic marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) transplantation 1-step technique.Both standard...
Purpose: The aim of this systematic review is to report about the clinical use partial and total fresh osteochondral allograft in ankle joint. state art allografts with regard basic science, procurement storage methods, immunogenicity, generally accepted indications contraindications, rationale allografting procedure have been described. Methods: All studies published PubMed from 2000 January 2012 addressing procedures joint were identified, including those that fulfilled following criteria:...
