Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the degree of cartilage regeneration by performing second-look arthroscopy in a group of patients who underwent high tibial osteotomy and microfractures for unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the medial knee joint and to determine the factors affecting cartilage regeneration. In addition, this study analyzed whether there is a relationship between the degree of cartilage regeneration and functional results. Materials and Methods: From 2007 to 2015, this study evaluated 81 cases who underwent second-look arthroscopy at the time of plate removal after a microfracture and high tibial osteotomy with a minimum two-year follow-up. The degree of femoral cartilage injury before surgery was classified by ICRS (International Cartilage Research Society), and all were grade III and IV. After second-look arthroscopy, cartilage regeneration was classified into a well-regenerated group (grade I, II) and a poorly regenerated group (grade III, IV). The independent factors influencing cartilage regeneration were identified through multivariate logistic regression analysis. In addition, the functional results were compared before and after surgery between the two groups using the Knee Society score (KSS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score (WOMAC). Results: Age, sex, body mass index, postoperative radiologic factors, and preoperative joint condition did not affect the degree of cartilage regeneration significantly. The large cartilage defect (≥2.0 cm2) (p=0.011) and the presence of kissing lesions (p=0.027) were associated with poor cartilage regeneration. No significant difference in the KSS and WOMAC scores was observed between the group with good and poor cartilage regeneration. Conclusion: The presence of a large cartilage defect and kissing lesions is associated with poor cartilage regeneration after high tibial osteotomy and microfracture. On the other hand, the degree of the regenerated cartilage did not show any correlation with the functional outcome.

목적: 슬관절 내측 구획 골관절염으로 근위 경골 절골술 및 미세 골절술을 함께 시행한 환자 군에서 이차적 관절경 검사를 시행하여 연골 재생 정도를 평가하고 연골 재생에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하고자 한다. 또한 연골 재생의 정도와 기능적 결과가 연관성이 있는지 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2007년부터 2015년까지 근위 경골 절골술 및 미세 골절술을 함께 시행하였고, 최소 2년이 지나 금속판 제거술 및 이차 관절경 검사까지 시행 받은 81예를 대상으로 하였다. 술 전 대퇴부 연골 손상의 정도는 ICRS (International Cartilage Research Society) 분류를 이용하였고, 모두 grade III, IV 였다. 이차적 관절경 검사 이후에는 연골 재생이 양호한 그룹(grade I, II)과 불량한 그룹(grade III, IV)으로 분류하였다. 다변량 로지스틱 회기 분석을 통하여 연골 재생에 영향을 미치는 독립적인 요인을 파악하였다. 또한 두 그룹간의 수술 전후에 Knee Society score (KSS)와 Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score (WOMAC)를 이용하여 기능적 결과를 비교하였다. 결과: 연령, 성별, 체질량 지수, 술 전후 방사선학적 요인, 술 전 관절의 상태는 연골 재생의 정도에 유의한 영향을 끼치지 않았으며, 큰 연골 병변 범위(≥2.0 cm2) (p=0.011)와 키스 병변(kissing lesion)의 존재(p=0.027)는 불량한 연골 재생과 연관성이 있었다. KSS와 WOMAC 점수상에서는 연골의 재생이 양호한 그룹과 불량한 그룹 간의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론: 큰 연골 병변과 키스 병변의 존재는 근위 경골 절골술 및 미세 골절술 후 불량한 연골 재생과 관계가 있었다. 하지만 재생된 연골의 상태는 기능적 결과와 연관성을 보이지 않았다.
