    Journal: Foot Ankle Surg; 2022 Jan; 28(1):25-29. PubMed ID: 33574007.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the second-look arthroscopic evaluation after osteochondral autogenous transfer (OAT) for osteochondral lesion of the talar dome (OLT) with the criteria of the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS). METHODS: Ten patients (twelve ankles) with OLT underwent OAT with osteotomy of the medial malleolus. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale. The condition of the transplanted cartilage was evaluated at the time of second-look arthroscopy using the ICRS Cartilage Repair Assessment. RESULTS: The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale was significantly improved from 65.1 ± 1.9 points before surgery to 98.1 ± 2.8 points at the time of second-look arthroscopy (p < 0.01). The ICRS Cartilage Repair Assessment was 11.4 points on average (9-12 points). CONCLUSIONS: The OAT for OLT is considered to be a useful treatment even if invasion by medial malleolus osteotomy is added. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, Case series.
