Abstract
The present study was to determine the characteristics of the ankle skeletal structure in patients with talus Hepple V type. We conducted a retrospective study on the skeletal structure of the talus in 110 patients with Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus and in control participants. The radiographic measurements taken include the following: in the coronal plane - depth of talus frontal curvature, length of the lateral and medial malleolus; in the sagittal plane - radius and height of talus, angle of tibial lateral surface, tibiotalar sector, and vertical neck angle. The osteochondral lesion of the talus showed a significantly larger mean radius (mean ± SD, 21.4 ± 2.5 mm; p < .001) and height (mean ± SD, 26.0 ± 2.7 mm; p < .005). It also demonstrated a longer mean medial malleolus length (mean ± SD, 15.7 ± 2.4 mm; p < .005), a larger mean vertical neck angle (mean ± SD, 86.2 ± 5.4°; p < .050), and a greater mean tibial lateral surface angle (mean ± SD, 80.0 ± 4.5°; p < .001). And there was a greater mean frontal curvature depth (mean ± SD, 3.9 ± 0.6 mm; p < .005). Overall, this study found that patients with Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus had a larger vertical neck angle and tibial lateral surface angle, a longer talus radius and medial malleolus length, a higher talus height, and a deeper frontal curvature depth. STUDY DESIGNS: Retrospective Case-Control Study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Registry data provide valuable epidemiological insights that help to further improve process and outcome quality in patient care. The German Cartilage Registry (KnorpelRegister DGOU) was established in 2013 as an instrument for quality assurance after surgical cartilage regenerative procedures on hip, knee and ankle joints. DATA COLLECTION Participation in the German Cartilage Registry is optional for hospitals and practices. Currently, more than 160 institutions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland participate in the data collection. DATA COLLECTED AND INITIAL FINDINGS The implementation of PROMs ("patient related outcome measurement"), as well as the recording of surgery-related influencing factors, enable a differentiated scientific analysis and represent a key quality feature of the registry. Initial analyses of the registry data have already provided clinically relevant findings for immediate patient care. For example, patients who underwent focal cartilage therapy prior to ACT show a clinically relevant, significantly worse outcome than patients who underwent primary ACT. First conclusions could also be drawn regarding the relevance of concomitant cartilage therapy. For example, in patients with focal cartilage damage of the medial knee joint compartment, registry data indicate that leg axis correction is indicated even in cases of mild deviation of the mechanical leg axis. CONCLUSION The data and findings obtained from the Cartilage Registry represent an important aspect of clinical care research and serve as a complement to well-designed, clinically prospective cohort studies, RCTs, and meta-analyses.

Efficacy and safety of autologous chondrocyte implantation for osteochondral defects of the talus: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:71-79. [PMID: 34128117 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-03990-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies have reported various effects of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) on osteochondral defects of the talus. Therefore, to assess the effectiveness of ACI for osteochondral defects of the talus, we used the meta-analytic approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic databases PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched to identify eligible studies from their inception until November 2020. The random-effects model was used to calculate the incidence of success rate and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score for patients after ACI treatment. Subgroup analyses were also conducted based on age, technique, indication, size, and follow-up duration. RESULTS For the final meta-analysis, we selected 23 case series studies with a total of 458 patients with osteochondral defects of the talus. Overall, after ACI for patients with osteochondral defects of the talus, we noted that the incidence of success rate was 89% (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 85%-92%; P < 0.001). Moreover, after ACI for patients with osteochondral defects of the talus, the AOFAS score was 86.33 (95% CI 83.33-89.33; P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that the AOFAS score after ACI is significantly different when stratified by the mean age of the patients (P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that the use of ACI could provide a relatively high success rate and improve the AOFAS score for patients with osteochondral defects of the talus, which should be recommended in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of osteochondral lesions of the contralateral talus in patients with computed tomography (CT)-confirmed osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). The secondary aims were to determine if the contralateral lesions were symptomatic and to describe the demographic characteristics and radiographic presentation of patients with bilateral OLT. METHODS To identify patients with bilateral OLT, we utilized a cross-sectional database of consecutive patients with a CT-proven OLT who had undergone bilateral CT scanning at our hospital between January 1989 and June 2021. The primary outcome was the prevalence of bilateral OLT. Patients with bilateral OLT were grouped into a unilaterally symptomatic group and a bilaterally symptomatic group. Patient and lesion characteristics were compared between these groups as well as between the symptomatic and asymptomatic ankles in the unilaterally symptomatic group. Radiographic examination included lesion volume, location, and morphology. RESULTS Of 1,062 patients with OLT, 161 (15%) had bilateral OLT. Of the patients with bilateral OLT, 53 (33%) were bilaterally symptomatic. Patients who were bilaterally symptomatic were younger (p = 0.03) and more likely to present with a non-traumatic etiology (p < 0.01) in comparison with those who were unilaterally symptomatic. No differences were observed between the unilaterally and bilaterally symptomatic groups in terms of lesion morphology, volume, or location. In the unilaterally symptomatic group, lesion volume was significantly larger in symptomatic ankles in comparison with the contralateral, asymptomatic ankles (p < 0.01), but no significant differences were observed in terms of lesion morphology or location. CONCLUSIONS In patients presenting with symptomatic OLT, the prevalence of bilateral OLT was 15%, and 1 in 3 patients with bilateral OLT were symptomatic on both sides. Larger lesion volume was associated with the presence of symptoms in patients with bilateral OLT. For patients with bilateral OLT, the treating team should be aware that younger patients and patients without a history of trauma are at a higher risk for having bilateral symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The International Cartilage Regeneration and Joint Preservation Society's (ICRS's) global registry, aims to be the best source of information for patients and an unbiased resource of evidence-based medicine for scientists and clinicians working to help those unfortunate enough to suffer the pain and disability associated with articular cartilage lesions. This article constitutes the scientific summary of the reports' main findings. DESIGN The article outlines the historical precedents in the development of orthopedic registries from the earliest tumor registries, then local arthroplasty databases that led ultimately to international collaborations between national arthroplasty and soft tissue registries. The ICRS global cartilage registry was designed from the outset as a GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliant, multilingual, multinational cooperative system. It is a web-based user-friendly, live in 11 languages by end 2019, which can be accessed via https://cartilage.org/society/icrs-patient-registry/. Patients and clinicians enter data by smartphone, tablet, or computer on any knee cartilage regeneration and joint preservation treatment, including the use of focal arthroplasty. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score and Kujala patient-reported outcome measures are collected preoperatively, 6 months, 12 months, and annually for ten years thereafter. EQ-5D data collection will allow cost-effectiveness analysis. Strengths, weaknesses, and future plans are discussed. RESULTS Since inception the registry has 264 users across 50 countries. Major findings are presented and discussed, while the entire first ICRS global registry report is available at https://cartilage.org/society/icrs-patient-registry/registry-annual-reports/. Conclusion. A measure of the maturity of any registry is the publication of its findings in the peer reviewed literature. With the publication of its first report, the ICRS global registry has achieved that milestone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of a focal osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) is challenging. Evidence concerning the role of the autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) procedure in patients with focal OLT is promising. The purpose of the present study was to investigate clinical outcomes and radiographic findings of the AMIC technique for focal unipolar OLT. MATERIAL AND METHODS The present study was performed according to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Twenty-four patients who underwent AMIC for focal OLT were prospectively recruited at our institution. All the surgeries were performed by two experienced surgeons through malleolar osteotomy and autologous cancellous bone grafting. The outcomes of interest were the American orthopedic foot and ankle score (AOFAS), the foot-function index (FFI), and the magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART). Surgical duration, hospitalization length, and complications were also collected. RESULTS 24 patients were included in the present study. The mean follow-up was 25.17 ± 13.1 months. The mean age of the patients at surgery was 46.75 ± 15.2 years, the mean BMI 26.92 ± 5.7 kg/m2, and 50% (12 of 24) of patients were female. The right ankle was involved in 62.5% (15 of 24) of patients. The mean defect size was 6.95 ± 2.9 mm2. The mean surgical duration was 112 ± 20 min while the mean hospitalization 5.58 ± 1.7 days. At last follow-up, the AOFAS increased by 27.8 points (p < 0.0001), while the FFI reduced by 25.3 points (p < 0.0001) and the MOCART score increased by 28.33 points (p < 0.0001). No complications were observed. CONCLUSION The AMIC procedure for focal osteochondral defects of the talar shoulder is feasible and reliable at midterm follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With ankle arthritis often affecting young patients, joint-sparing treatments instead of total joint replacement should be considered. Only a few implants were specially developed for supramalleolar osteotomies (SMOT). This study was performed to analyse the stability of different implants and their appropriateness for SMOT. METHODS Twenty-five bone models (Sawbone Europe, Malmö, Sweden) were used for biomechanical testing. SMOT were performed as a uniplanar osteotomy, leaving 5 mm of lateral bone intact with a standardized gap of 8 mm. Five different plates commonly used for SMOT were assessed. For axial stability, the constructs were tested during 100 cycles for each load (150N and 800N) at a rate of 0.5 Hz. For rotational stability, each construct was subject to 100 cycles of 5 Nm torque at a rate of 0.25 Hz, performing three runs with an axial preload of 0N, 150N, or 800N. Ultimate axial load was performed for one-half and ultimate rotational load was performed for the other half of the constructs. In addition, the stiffness of the different constructs after failure was tested. RESULTS All constructs showed high stability and could be tested until maximum cyclic load. There was no significant difference between the five plates, neither for stiffness (axial or rotational) nor for failure load (axial or rotational). One plate indicated superiority in axial failure testing without any significant difference. CONCLUSION All implants could be tested until maximum load. The intact hinge apparently provides enough support to compensate for lower moment of inertia of some plates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Not applicable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The evidence supporting best practice guidelines in the field of cartilage repair of the ankle are based on both low quality and low levels of evidence. Therefore, an international consensus group of experts was convened to collaboratively advance toward consensus opinions based on the best available evidence on key topics within cartilage repair of the ankle. The purpose of this article was to report on the consensus statements on "Revision and Salvage Management" developed at the 2017 International Consensus Meeting on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle. METHODS Seventy-five international experts in cartilage repair of the ankle representing 25 countries and 1 territory were convened and participated in a process based on the Delphi method of achieving consensus. Questions and statements were drafted within 11 working groups focusing on specific topics within cartilage repair of the ankle, after which a comprehensive literature review was performed and the available evidence for each statement was graded. Discussion and debate occurred in cases where statements were not agreed on in unanimous fashion within the working groups. A final vote was then held, and the strength of consensus was characterized as follows: consensus, 51% to 74%; strong consensus, 75% to 99%; unanimous, 100%. RESULTS A total of 8 statements on revision and salvage management reached consensus during the 2017 International Consensus Meeting on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle. One achieved unanimous support and 7 reached strong consensus (greater than 75% agreement). All statements reached at least 85% agreement. CONCLUSIONS This international consensus derived from leaders in the field will assist clinicians with revision and salvage management in the cartilage repair of the ankle.

Abstract
Autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) has gained popularity in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus. Previous studies have presented promising short-term results for AMIC talar osteochondral lesion repair, a 1-step technique using a collagen type I/III bilayer matrix. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mid-term effects. The 5-year results of a prospective cohort study are presented. All patients underwent an open AMIC procedure for a talar osteochondral lesion. Data analysis included general demographic data, preoperative magnetic resonance imaging findings, intraoperative details, and German version of the Foot Function Index (FFI-D) scores preoperatively and at 1 and 5 years after surgery. The primary outcome variable was the longitudinal effect of the procedure, and the influence of various variables on the outcome was tested. Of 47 consecutive patients, 21 (45%) were included. Of the 21 patients, 8 were female (38%) and 13 were male (62%), with a mean age of 37 ± 15 (range 15 to 62) years and a body mass index of 26 ± 5 (range 20 to 38) kg/m2. The defect size was 1.4 ± 0.9 (range 0.2 to 4.0) cm2. The FFI-D decreased significantly from preoperatively to 1 year postoperatively (56 ± 18 versus 33 ± 25; p = .003), with a further, nonsignificant decrease between the 1- and 5-year follow-up examination (33 ± 25 versus 24 ± 21; p = .457). Similar results were found for the FFI-D subscales of function and pain. The body mass index and lesion size showed a positive correlation with the preoperative FFI-D overall and subscale scores. These results showed a significant improvement in pain and function after the AMIC procedure, with a significant return to sports by the 5-year follow-up point. The greatest improvement overall was seen within the first year; however, further clinical satisfaction among the patients was noticeable after 5 years.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In Germany most surgical procedures of the ligaments of the knee and correcting osteotomies of the knees are performed within an inpatient setting. The purpose of this study was to analyze the available data to assess epidemiological trends and incidences in inpatient knee joint surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Approximately 154 million anonymized DRG inpatient records were collected by the German Federal Statistical Office between 2005 and 2013. These data were screened and analyzed for knee joint surgical ligamental procedures and osteotomies. RESULTS Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) or repair had a high incidence (46 per 100,000 persons/year). In addition, the most frequent grafts included hamstring tendon (90%) and the patellar tendon (6.3%) autografts (2013). Peak age group for ACLR was 15-20 years (14.5%) for female and 20-25 years (23.6%) for male patients, while there was a second peak in the age group 45-50 years (13.8%) for female patients. Male patients had a higher risk for receiving ACLR (RR 1.96; 95% CI 1.92-2.00) and for receiving valgizing high tibial osteotomy (RR 2.43; 95% CI 2.27-2.61). Females had a higher risk for receiving varizing distal femur osteotomy (RR 1.89; 95% CI 1.58-2.26). CONCLUSION There are growing trends for joint- and activity-preserving procedure in the middle-aged patients. The knowledge of the trends and incidences related to these procedures may help to validate and discuss the results of clinical and register studies.
