Comparison of Juvenile Allogenous Articular Cartilage and Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate versus Microfracture in Arthroscopic Treatment of Talar Osteochondral Lesions:

摘要

Category:AnkleIntroduction/Purpose:There are few prior investigations that report the clinical and radiographic outcomes of juvenile allogenic chondrocyte implantation with autologous bone marrow aspirate in the ankle. Reports that do exist have offered conflicting results and suggest that this relatively new technique has no significant advantage over current repair techniques. The purpose of this study was to compare the functional and radiographic outcomes of patients who received juvenile allogenic chondrocyte implantation with autologous bone marrow aspirate for treatment of talar osteochondral lesions with those of patients who underwent microfracture.Methods:After approval was obtained from our institutional review board, the institution’s foot and ankle registry was searched using relevant Current Procedural Terminology codes for all patients who underwent either microfracture or juvenile allogenic chondrocyte implantation with bone marrow aspirate concentrate for an osteochondral lesion of the ta...
