Abstract
The conservative treatment for Kohler's disease will take several months, but some patients still have flatfoot and persistent pain. From October 2013 to July 2015, 3 children with Kohler's disease underwent navicular decompression and micro-circulation reconstruction surgery in our hospital. All the patients have received conservative treatment for more than 3 months and the effect was poor. X-ray showed the bone density of navicular increased significantly. All patients were followed up over 1 year. The 3 patients recovered well. VAS score decreased from 7.0 to 2.6 at 1 month after the operation. The pain symptom disappeared completely on 3 months after surgery. The density of navicular bone recovered to normal. Navicular decompression and micro-circulation reconstruction surgery may quickly improve the ischemic status of navicular bone, alleviate pain symptom and enable patients to resume normal activity as soon as possible.

Does AMIC® provide improvements at least two years after surgery for knee osteochondral lesions? A multicentre retrospective study of 101 patients. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2024; 110:103774. [PMID: 38008249 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2023.103774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteochondral defects of the knee due to trauma or osteochondritis are associated with osteoarthritis in the medium term. Defects 2 to 8cm2 in size can be managed by autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC®), in which sub-chondral micro-fractures are created within the lesion and the defect is then covered by a matrix of type I and type III collagen to induce de novo cartilage formation. Although promising outcomes have been observed in small single-centre cohorts, the medium-term clinical and radiological effectiveness of AMIC® remains to be demonstrated in larger populations. The objective of this study was to evaluate outcomes of patients at least 2 years after AMIC® for knee osteochondral defects. HYPOTHESIS AMIC® is associated with clinical and radiological improvements after at least 2 years. MATERIAL AND METHOD This multicentre (16 centres), multisurgeon (18 senior orthopaedic surgeons), retrospective study included consecutive patients who underwent AMIC® with Chondro-Gide® membrane implantation between September 2011 and January 2020. The 36-item Short Form quality-of-life (SF-36) score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score were determined before the procedure and during follow-up. The Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue (MOCART) score was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging 2 years after the procedure. RESULTS In total, 101 patients aged 12 to 60 years were included. Mean follow-up was 30 months. Mean defect size was 3.44cm2 (range, 2-8cm2). Significant improvements were documented in the SF-36 score, KOOS, and IKDC score. The mean MOCART score at 2 years was 75% (range, 20-100). DISCUSSION The AMIC® procedure was associated with significant improvements at 2.5 years in patients treated for knee osteochondral defects measuring 2 to 8cm2. This method seems to provide similar outcomes to those of other available methods with the advantages of single-step surgery and elimination of osteochondral graft donor-site complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, retrospective observational cohort study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment for Freiberg's disease is largely conservative. For severe disease and refractory cases, there are various surgical options. The purpose of this study was to report the 5-year clinical outcomes of a modified Weil osteotomy in the treatment of advanced Freiberg's disease. METHODS Twelve patients (12 feet), with a mean age of 30.7 years (range 17-55), were treated with synovectomy and modified Weil osteotomy of the affected distal metatarsal head. There were 10 females and 2 males. Clinical outcomes were independently evaluated pre and postoperatively using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system and a subjective satisfaction score. Radiological union was evaluated postoperatively. Nine (75%) feet involved the 2nd metatarsal and 3 feet (25%) involved the 3rd metatarsal. According to the Smillie classification, 6 feet were Grade IV and 6 feet were grade V. RESULTS No patients were lost to follow up and the mean follow-up time was 5.2 years (4-7). AOFAS scores improved from 48.1 + /- 7.4-88.9 + /- 10.1 postoperatively giving a mean improvement of 40.8 (p < 0.001). In total, 92% of patients were satisfied with their operation at latest follow-up, reporting excellent or good results. All patients had postoperative radiological union. One patient had a superficial postoperative infection that was successfully treated with oral antibiotics. CONCLUSION Modified Weil osteotomy is an effective treatment for advanced Freiberg's disease with good outcomes and few complications.

Abstract
Aims Arthroscopic microfracture is a conventional form of treatment for patients with osteochondritis of the talus, involving an area of < 1.5 cm2. However, some patients have persistent pain and limitation of movement in the early postoperative period. No studies have investigated the combined treatment of microfracture and shortwave treatment in these patients. The aim of this prospective single-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was to compare the outcome in patients treated with arthroscopic microfracture combined with radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy (rESWT) and arthroscopic microfracture alone, in patients with ostechondritis of the talus. Methods Patients were randomly enrolled into two groups. At three weeks postoperatively, the rESWT group was given shockwave treatment, once every other day, for five treatments. In the control group the head of the device which delivered the treatment had no energy output. The two groups were evaluated before surgery and at six weeks and three, six and 12 months postoperatively. The primary outcome measure was the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Scale. Secondary outcome measures included a visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain and the area of bone marrow oedema of the talus as identified on sagittal fat suppression sequence MRI scans. Results A total of 40 patients were enrolled and randomly divided into the two groups, with 20 in each. There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline characteristics of the groups. No complications, such as wound infection or neurovascular injury, were found during follow-up of 12 months. The mean AOFAS scores in the rESWT group were significantly higher than those in the control group at three, six, and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.05). The mean VAS pain scores in the rESWT group were also significantly lower than those in the control group at these times (p < 0.05). The mean area of bone marrow oedema in the rESWT group was significantly smaller at six and 12 months than in the control group at these times (p < 0.05). Conclusion Local shockwave therapy was safe and effective in patients with osteochondiritis of the talus who were treated with a combination of arthroscopic surgery and rESWT. Preliminary results showed that, compared with arthroscopic microfracture alone, those treated with arthroscopic microfracture combined with rESWT had better relief of pain at three months postoperatively and improved weightbearing and motor function of the ankle.

Abstract
We present a case report of a man in his 20s with osteochondritis dissecans of the talus, treated with autologous transplantation of a vascularised osteochondral flap. The patient with high level of activity presented to our orthopaedic outpatient department for progressive limping and pain, mainly related to sports. An osteochondritis dissecans grade IV of the medial talus was identified by MRI. A microvascular transfer of osteochondral tissue was performed successfully. At follow-up 1 year after surgery, the MRI examination revealed vital cartilage; the patient was free of pain and had returned to his previous level of activity.

Abstract
Tuberculosis arthritis of the ankle accounts for 10% of all cases of osteoarticular tuberculosis (OT). Because of its rarity and insidious symptoms, diagnosing it may be challenging. Furthermore, its imaging findings mimic those of other diseases. The case of ankle tuberculosis arthritis misdiagnosed as talus necrosis is reported. The difficulties faced by clinicians when confronting such situations are also illustrated.

Abstract
A case presentation of an adolescent with tarsal navicular avascular necrosis is presented. External fixation with tarsal navicular diastasis is a simple, straightforward management option to allow osseous regrowth and bone healing. In this case, the external fixator was well tolerated and the patient demonstrated a quick return to function without pain or discomfort. The external fixation technique with tarsal navicular diastasis is an uncommon but effective means of reversing the tarsal navicular avascular process and avoiding an open technique such as arthrodesis.

Abstract
As one of the most commonly injured areas in the immature athlete, the foot and ankle has many disorders. Knowledge of congenital and developmental abnormalities and possible injury patterns enables the clinician to correctly diagnose these disorders. Physical examination and appropriate use of imaging technology provide confirmation of the initial impression. As children and adolescents participate in sports with greater intensity, there is a higher incidence of overuse injuries that may have long-term implications.

Abstract
We measured the stiffness of the cartilage of the human femoral condyles via an ultrasonic tactile sensor under arthroscopic control. The stiffness and the degeneration of articular cartilage were assessed in 105 knees in 74 patients (39 men, 35 women, age: 9-72 years) who underwent arthroscopic observation or surgery. Twenty-five knees suffered from traumatic cartilage injury, 14 from osteochondritis dissecans, 13 from osteoarthritis, 11 from meniscal injury and six from ligamentous injury, bipartita patellae (three knees), and symptomatic plica synovialis (two knees). The degeneration of cartilage was classified according to Outerbridge's grading system. The relationships between the stiffness and the grade of cartilage degeneration, and gender were analyzed. The stiffness of grade I (softening) and II (fissuring less than 0.5 inches in length) was significantly lower than that of intact cartilage. In contrast, the stiffness of grade IV (exposed subchondral bone) was significantly higher than that of any other group. The cartilage stiffness of the patella in women was significantly lower than that in men. The tactile sensor was useful for determining the intraoperative stiffness of healthy and diseased human cartilage in all grades.

Abstract
New information affecting the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions in children was published within the past year. A new etiology for acquired torticollis as well as a test to distinguish ocular and muscular torticollis were described. Familial predisposition for successful nonoperative treatment of interventional disk herniation was reported. Bone scintigraphy was shown to be helpful in defining the cause of occult gait disturbances, and accurate mapping of premature growth plate closure may soon be possible with magnetic resonance scans.

Abstract
A thirty-five-year old woman suffered from a sprain of her wrist joint. Painful blocking and snapping during supination appeared. No pathology was seen in the X-rays and the arthrogram. At surgery the expected dislocation of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon was not discovered but rather a handle-like dissection of the cartilage of the ulnar head was squeezed into the inferior radioulnar joint by supination. The patient recovered soon after resection of the dissected cartilage. In retrospect the injury could have been diagnosed by arthrography of the inferior radioulnar joint.

Abstract
Thirteen patients with invasive infections of the external ear were treated with cefsulodin sodium. Eleven were elderly diabetic patients with malignant external otitis, and two were nondiabetic adults with cellulitis or chondritis of the external ear. Four of 11 patients with malignant external otitis had extensive disease, with progression of infection to the petrous apex, medial base of the skull, or parapharyngeal soft tissue. Eleven patients had granulation tissue in the external auditory canal, and three presented with cranial nerve palsies (V, VII, IX, X). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from all patients. Minimal inhibitory concentrations of cefsulodin for the strains isolated were 1.56-6.25 micrograms/ml (mean, 3.37 microliter/ml) and minimal bactericidal concentrations were 1.56-25 micrograms/ml (mean, 5.59 micrograms/ml). Duration of therapy was from one to 12 weeks. Nine patients had a positive clinical response, three had recurrent disease after initial improvement, and one was lost to follow-up. A positive response was correlated with a longer duration of therapy and less extensive disease; complications were minor. Cefsulodin appears to be an effective agent for the treatment of selected patients with invasive external otitis.

Abstract
Forty nine elderly patients with osteochondrosis of the cervical spine and on whom carotid angiography had been performed were divided into two groups. In one 36 patients had vestibular symptoms whereas the other group of remaining patients was free of such symptoms. Comparison of both groups showed that vertigo (20 patients), other vestibular symptoms or nystagmus were not solely related to vertebral artery stenosis. In fact stenosis of one or both vertebral arteries was found in only nine patients.

Abstract
Four cases of avulsion of the anterior inferior iliac spine were presented. Three of them affected boys of about 15 years (2 after a strain without local trauma--1 after local trauma). The fourth was discovered by chance on the X-rays of a man. Histological examination was made of 2 cases. A recent one showed the remodelling of a fracture of the apophysary growth cartilage. An older one showed aspecific bone remodelling. The incidence, clinical and radiological data, pathology and pathogenesis of such apophysiolysis is discussed.
