Long-Term Results after Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus: A 10-Year Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

A gold standard surgical treatment for osteochondral lesions (OCLs) of the talus still needs to be established. Still, autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) is a commonly applied 1-stage procedure that has achieved good short- and mid-term results. The present cohort study aimed to assess whether the long-term, 10-year results can confirm the previous findings.

Design

All patients underwent an open AMIC procedure using a collagen type I/III bilayer matrix for a talar OCL. 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, 5, and 10 years as well as European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS) and American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle
