Abstract
The last several decades have brought about substantial development in our understanding of the biomolecular pathways associated with chondral disease and progression to arthritis. Within domains relevant to foot and ankle, genetic modification of stem cells, augmentation of bone marrow stimulation techniques, and improvement on existing scaffolds for delivery of orthobiologic agents hold promise in improving treatment of chondral injuries. This review summarizes novel developments in the understanding of the molecular pathways underlying chondral damage and some of the recent advancements within related therapeutics.

[PMID: 36864471 PMCID: PMC9983202 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03576-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The repair of articular cartilage defects has always been a difficult problem. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of intra-articular injection of platelet-rich plasma (RPR) and PRP-derived exosomes (PRP-Exos) on cartilage defects in rat knee joints and then provide experience for the use of PRP-exos in cartilage defect repair. METHODS Rat abdominal aortic blood was collected, and PRP was extracted by two-step centrifugation. PRP-exos were obtained by kit extraction, and PRP-exos were identified by various methods. After the rats were anesthetized, a cartilage defect subchondral bone was created at the proximal end of the origin of the femoral cruciate ligament with a drill. SD rats were divided into 4 groups, including PRP group, 50 μg/ml PRP-exos group, 5 μg/ml PRP-exos group, and control group. One week after the operation, 50 μg/ml PRP, 50 μg/ml PRP-exos, 5 μg/ml PRP-exos and normal saline were injected into the knee joint cavity of rats in each group, once a week. A total of two injections were given. On the 5th and 10th week after drug injection, the serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) were detected by each treatment method, respectively. The rats were killed at the 5th and 10th weeks, respectively, and the cartilage defect repair was observed and scored. The defect repair tissue sections were used for HE staining and type II collagen immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS The histological results showed that both PRP-exos and PRP could promote cartilage defect repair and type II collagen formation, and the promoting effect of PRP-exos was significantly better than that of PRP. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results showed that compared with PRP, PRP-exos could significantly increase serum TIMP-1 and decrease serum MMP-3 in rats. And the promoting effect of PRP-exos was concentration dependent. CONCLUSION Intra-articular injection of PRP-exos and PRP can promote the repair of articular cartilage defects, and the therapeutic effect of PRP-exos is better than the same concentration of PRP. PRP-exos are expected to be an effective treatment for cartilage repair and regeneration.

Abstract
PURPOSE Two-year follow-up to assess efficacy and safety of high-density autologous chondrocyte implantation (HD-ACI) in patients with cartilage lesions in the ankle. DESIGN Twenty-four consecutive patients with International Cartilage repair Society (ICRS) grade 3-4 cartilage lesions of the ankle were included. Five million chondrocytes per cm2 of lesion were implanted using a type I/III collagen membrane as a carrier and treatment effectiveness was assessed by evaluating pain with the visual analogue scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score at baseline, 12-month, and 24-month follow-up, together with dorsal and plantar flexion. Magnetic resonance observation for cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) score was used to evaluate cartilage healing. Histological study was possible in 5 cases. RESULTS Patients' median age was 31 years (range 18-55 years). Median VAS score was 8 (range 5-10) at baseline, 1.5 (range 0-8) at 12-month follow-up, and 2 (rang e0-5) at 24-month follow-up (P < 0.001). Median AOFAS score was 39.5 (range 29-48) at baseline, 90 (range 38-100) at 12-month follow-up, and 90 (range 40-100) at 24-month follow-up (P < 0.001). Complete dorsal flexion significantly increased at 12 months (16/24, 66.7%) and 24 months (17/24, 70.8%) with regard to baseline (13/24, 54.2%) (P = 0.002). MOCART at 12- and 24-month follow-ups were 73.71 ± 15.99 and 72.33 ± 16.21. Histological study confirmed that neosynthetized tissue was cartilage with hyaline extracellular matrix and numerous viable chondrocytes. CONCLUSION HD-ACI is a safe and effective technique to treat osteochondral lesions in the talus, providing good clinical and histological results at short- and mid-term follow-ups.

Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review aimed to identify the available evidence regarding the comparative effectiveness and safety of various operative treatments in adult patients with osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The PubMed, Embase, ISI Web of Knowledge, and the Cochrane Controlled Trial Register of Controlled Trials were searched from their inception date to September 2019. Two reviewers selected the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs assessing the comparative effectiveness and safety of various operative treatments for OLT. The meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.3. RESULTS Eight studies (1 RCT and 7 non-RCTs) with 375 patients were included in this review. The difference in the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score between the cartilage repair and replacement was not significant. The cartilage regeneration with or without cartilage repair had significant superiority in improving the AOFAS score compared with the cartilage repair. The difference in the magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue score between the cartilage repair and replacement and between cartilage repair and cartilage repair plus regeneration was significant. CONCLUSIONS Cartilage regeneration and cartilage repair plus regeneration had significant superiority in improving the ankle function and radiological evaluation of OLT, although the trials included did not have high-level evidence. Moreover, which treatment between the 2 was safer could not be addressed in this review as most of the trials did not report the safety outcome. Further studies are needed to define the best surgical option for treating OLT.
