Outcomes of arthroscopic bone graft transplantation for Hepple stage V osteochondral lesions of the talus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Based on MRI imaging findings, osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) can be classified into five stages, in which stage V represents OLT with subchondral cyst formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing arthroscopic transplantation of calcaneus bone graft for Hepple stage V OLT.

Methods

This retrospective study included 24 patients with Hepple stage V OLT (15 men and 9 women), with an average age of 39.8±12.9 years old. The mean follow-up period was 18.9±11.8 months. At this follow-up, all patients were clinically evaluated using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, the Karlsson Ankle Function Score (KAFS), the Tegner score, and the visual analogue scale (VAS). Furthermore, 14 patients underwent
