The purpose of this study is to evaluate the significance of arthroscopic examination in patients with chronic ankle pain. Eighty eight arthroscopic procedures were conducted due to symptoms of chronic ankle pain. The pathology of the 88 ankles could be categorized into four groups ; 22 anterior impingement syndrome, 20 anterolateal impingement syndrome, 22 instability and 20 osteochondral lesion, 59 of patients(67.0%) had trauma history and 14(15.9%) of patients had injured chronic repetitive microtrauma. During the arthroscopic procedure, we found unexpected chondral lesions of high incidence(39.1%). These lesions were not detected both by the physical examination and radiologic examinantion. These pathologies were treated during the course of arthroscopic procedure. We concluded that ankle arthroscopy may be a very useful and therapeutic tool in the patients who have not reponded to the conservative treatment. And due to high incidence of intra-articular pathology in patients with chronic ankle pain, arthroscopic examination should be performed prior to final decision.

After a severe ankle sprain, the incidence of residual complaints, particularly on the medial side of the joint, is high. We experienced a case of medial impingement between medial malleolus and anteromedial osteophyte of talus, specially in the dorsiflexion of the right ankle. Twenty five-year-old male was complained tenderness and chronic pain over the medial side of the right anklel for 3 years after an inversion sprain of the ankle. The plain radiography revealed a bony osteophyte on the anteromedial side of talus. The patient was treated by the open arthrotomy of the ankle. At surgery, impingement between articular surface of medial malleolus and osteophyte of the talus was observed when ankle dorsiflexion was done. Chondral lesion of medial malleolus and chondromalacic degeneration on anteromedial talus was viewed. Surgical removal of osteophyte on talus and debridement and multiple drilling of chondral lesion on medial malleolus was done. The symptom was improved. After postoperative 1 year, recurrence was not.

Osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) is a broad term used to describe an injury or abnormality of the talar articular cartilage and adjacent bone. Various terms are used to describe this clinical entity, including osteochondritis dissecans, osteochondral fractures, and osteochondral defects. Several treatment options are available; the choice of treatment is based on the type and size of the defect and the treating clinician's preference. Arthroscopic microfracture (a bone marrow stimulation technique) is a common and effective surgical strategy in patients with small lesions or in those in whom non-operative treatment has failed. This study had the following aims: 1) to review the historical background, etiology, and classification systems of OLT; 2) to describe a systematic approach to arthroscopic bone marrow stimulation for OLT; and 3) to determine the characteristics that are useful for assessing osteochondral lesions, including age, size, type (chondral, subchondral, cystic), stability, displacement, location, and containment of the lesion.

Traditionally, arthroscopic microfracture and autologous osteochondral autograft transplantation have been the primary surgical treatments for osteochondral lesions of the talus. On the other hand, recent advancements have introduced alternative approaches, such as autologous chondrocyte transplantation, matrix-derived autologous chondrocyte transplantation, intra-articular injection of concentrated bone marrow aspirate concentrate, and the use of fibrin glue to address chondral defects. Furthermore, some studies have explored a combination of bone marrow aspirate and matrix-derived chondrogenesis. In light of these developments, this report presents a case study of a young male patient in his early twenties with a relatively large osteochondral lesion exceeding 1.5 cm² on the medial talar dome. Instead of removing the osteochondral lesion, a surgical approach was employed to retain the lesion while addressing the unstable cartilage in the affected area. This approach involved a combination of bone marrow aspirate concentrate and matrix-derived chondrogenesis. The treatment yielded favorable clinical outcomes and ultimately successfully induced the bony union of osteochondral lesions. This paper reports the author's experience with this innovative approach with a review of the relevant literature.

Osteochondral lesions of the talus are isolated cartilage and/or bone lesions that are known cause of chronic ankle pain. They can occur as the result of a single acute ankle injury or from repetitive loading of the talus. Technical development in radiologic imaging and ankle arthroscopy have improved diagnostic capabilities for detecting osteochondral lesions. Characteristics which are important in assessing an osteochondral lesions include: the size, the type (chondral, subchondral, cystic), the stability, the displacement, the location, and the containment of lesion. Nonoperative treatment involving period of casting and non-weight-bearing is recommended for acute, non-displaced osteochondral lesions in select pediatric and adolescent patients. Operative treatment is recommended for unstable lesions or failed conservative management. Marrow stimulation techniques (abrasion chondroplasty, multiple drilling, microfracture), osteochondral autograft or allograft, autologous chondrocyte implantation, are frequently employed. The purpose of this article is to review the historical background, etiology, classification systems, diagnostic strategies, and to describe a systematic approach to management of osteochondral lesions of the talus.

목적: 슬관절에서 미세 천공술을 이용하여 전층 관절 연골 병변을 치료하고 추구 검진의 기간에 따라 변화하는 임상적 결과를 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1999년 1월 1일부터 2005년 12월 31까지 본원에서 슬관절경 수술과 미세 천공술로 치료한 123예의 전층 관절 연골 병변 환자 가운데 연구에 적합한 37예를 선정하였다. 평균 2.7년 추구 검진을 하였으며, 남자는 28명, 여자는 9명 이었다. 평균 나이는 31세 (21~38세)로 비교적 젊은 연령을 선정하였다. 외상의 병력은 27예에서 보였으며, 10예에서는 외상력은 없었다. 수술 시에 모든 환자들의 병소 위치와 크기를 기록하였다. 또한 결과의 평가는 질문서를 작성하여 activity of daily living(ADL), Tegner activity scale, IKDC knee form, Lysholm score, 최종적 추구 검진시 치료의 만족도 등을 기록하였다. 모든 평가는 수술 후 1년, 1년 6개월, 그리고 2년에 동일하게 시행하여 결과를 비교하였다. 결과: 슬관절의 동통은 수술 후 1년 이내에 82%, 1년 6개월에 80% 호전되었으나 2년에는 62%로 감소하였다. ADL과 Tegner activity scale는 1년 6개월까지 환자군의 83%에서 호전되었으나 2년에는 66%로 감소하였다. IKDC score는 수술 전 58에서 수술 후 1년에 86, 1년 6개월에는 79, 그리고 2년에는 68로 감소하였다. Lysholm score는 수술 전 61에서 수술 후 1년에 89, 1년 6개월에 92이었으나 2년에는 73으로 감소하였다. 최종 추구 검진시 슬관절의 기능은 양호 내지 우수가 22예(59%), 보통 12예(32%), 불량 3예(9%)이었다. 결론: 슬관절의 관절 연골 손상에서 미세 천공술 치료는 수술 전에 비하여 슬관절의 기능 향상은 1년 이내에 가장 뚜렷하였으나, 시간이 경과할수록 점직적으로 효과가 감소하였다.

Osteoarthritis(OA) diseases are characterized by joint pain, tenderness, limitation of movement, crepitus, occasional effusion, and variable degrees of inflammation without systemic effects. We investigated the effects of Achyrantis radixs cream treatment and low intensity ultrasound in monosodium iodoacetate(MIA) induced experimental osteoarthritis rat. Sprague-Dawley 40 rats of 7-8 weeks, weight $250\;{\pm}\;50$ g were divided into four groups including the control group and ostoarthritis group(30 rats). Histopathological examination, Mankin's score, and immunohistochemical were performed. Histological findings in control group that are similar to those observed in human osteoarthritis, such as disorganization of chondrocytes, erosion and fibrillation of cartilage surface, and subchondral bone exposure. Safranin O-fast green staining revealed that marked diffuse reduction of proteoglycans and chondrocyte treated with MIA. The Mankin's score were closely correlated to the grade of histological findings. The level of Bax and caspase-3 expression decreased experimental groups. This study shows that a Acyranthes Radix cream treatment and low intensity ultrasound exerts a beneficial influence on the severity of chondral lesion in osteoarthritis rats. This treatments could related to a reduced level of chondrocyte apoptosis through anti-apoptotoc capacities of MIA-induced apoptotic protein overexpression.

This study aimed to analyse the initial results of five patients with symptomatic osteochondral lesions (OCL) and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) who were treated successfully with osteochondral autologous transfer (OAT) and femoral neck osteochondroplasty (OCP) through surgical dislocation of the hip. Five patients with FAI and OCL of the femoral head who underwent surgery between 2015-2018 were studied retrospectively. All patients had a grade IV OCL, and the median defect size was 2 cm2 (interquartile range [IQR], 2-2). At the final follow-up, the modified Harris hip score showed a median value of 94 (IQR, 91-95) (P=0.04). Pain evaluation using the visual analogue scale showed a median value of 1 (IQR, 1-2) (P=0.04). Adequate graft union and healthy formation of the chondral surface were observed by magnetic resonance imaging. Although the procedure is demanding, the combination of OAT and femoral neck OCP appears to be an effective alternative in young patients.

관절 연골 손상은 급성 손상과 만성 손상인 퇴행성 관절염으로 구분되며, 급성 손상은 연골 손상의 깊이에 따라서 미세 손상, 연골 골절, 골연골 골절의 세 종류로 구분할 수 있고 각 손상의 종류별로 서로 다른 양상의 치유 반응과 예후를 보인다. 만성 관절 연골 손상은 다양한 원인으로 인해서 발생하며 관절 연골의 전반적인 퇴행성 관절염의 형태를 보인다. 관절 연골 손상 시 초기 손상의 정도가 예후를 결정짓는데 가장 중요하고 이외에도 손상의 크기, 부위, 나이, 활동성, 비만 정도, 하지 정렬 상태등도 예후를 결정하는 중요한 요소들이다. 본 논문에서는 관절 연골 손상 시 발생하는 관절 연골 내의 병태 생리적 변화에 대하여 기술하고 비수술적인 치료 방법을 생역학적인 측면과 생물학적인 측면으로 구분하여 그 효과를 알아보고자 한다.
