Influence of the BMI (<30 kg/m² vs. ≥30 kg/m²) on the Surgical Outcome of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus: Prospective Data from the German Cartilage Registry (KnorpelRegister DGOU).

ABSTRACT: ObjectiveAim of this study was to evaluate the 24 months follow-up data of the German Cartilage Registry (KnorpelRegister DGOU, GCR) regarding the influence of body mass index (BMI) on clinical outcomes after surgical osteochondral lesions of the talus (OCT) treatment.DesignA total of 303 patients met the inclusion criteria. Pre- and post-operative Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) total scores, subscores, and ΔFAOS were analyzed for most frequent surgical techniques (bone marrow stimulation [BMS], matrix-augmented BMS, matrix-augmented BMS with additional bone grafting) in normal weight group (NW, BMI <30 kg/m², n = 228) and obese weight group (OW, BMI ≥30 kg/m², n = 75).ResultsBMI was significantly different in NW and OW (24.6 ± 2.97 [16.9-29.9] kg/m
