Minced Cartilage Implantation for a Cystic Defect on the Femoral Head-Technical Note.

ABSTRACT: Chondral injuries of the femoral head and their possible progression to osteoarthritis is well known. Regarding focal lesions in young patients, microfracturing or autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) are the most frequent used techniques to address them. Although ACI provides the better tissue quality, it is a two-step procedure and needs a lot of resources. Mincing cartilage is an old technique that has become popular again over the last few years, with good short-term results in threatening cartilage lesion in the knee. It seems intriguing to transfer this technique to the hip because you can harvest good-quality cartilage from the cam lesion, and it is a one-step procedure using autologous thrombin and fibrin. This technical note describes the repair of a parafoveal chondral defect using minced cartilage via surgical dislocation of the hip.

Arthroscopic Minced Cartilage Implantation (MCI): A Technical Note.

Project description:Articular cartilage lesions are identified with increasing frequency. Several cartilage repair techniques are available to treat symptomatic cartilage defects. The ultimate goal of any cartilage repair procedure is the prevention of premature osteoarthritis. Autologous chondrocyte implantation provides the best tissue quality. However, 2 operations and a resource-intense culturing process with high regulatory demands are disadvantages of this cartilage repair procedure. Furthermore, cellular dedifferentiation and senescence display further cell culture-associated drawbacks that hamper the procedure. Minced cartilage implantation is a relatively simple and cost-effective one-step procedure with promising biologic potential and satisfying clinical results. We present an arthroscopic surgical technique where the surgeon can apply autologous chondrocytes in a one-step procedure to treat articular cartilage defects at the knee joint.

Arthroscopic Minced Cartilage Implantation for Chondral Lesions at the Talus: A Technical Note.

Project description:In the past few years, autologous chondrocyte implantation has been shown to be the most suitable cartilage reconstructive technique with the best tissue quality. Although this method is part of the standard surgical repertoire in the knee joint, it has so far not been an established method in the ankle because there are no prospective randomized controlled studies to prove a significant advantage over alternative methods of cartilage repair. The methods most frequently used in this context (e.g., marrow stimulation techniques) can, however, at most generate hyaline-like and thus biomechanically inferior regenerates. Minced cartilage implantation, on the other hand, is a relatively simple and cost-effective 1-step procedure with promising biological potential and-at least in the knee joint-satisfactory clinical results. We present an arthroscopic surgical technique by which the surgeon can apply autologous chondrocytes in a 1-step procedure (AutoCart; Arthrex, Munich, Germany) to treat articular cartilage defects in the ankle joint.

Arthroscopic Minced Cartilage Implantation for Chondral Lesion at the Glenoid in the Shoulder: Technical Note.

Project description:Joint cartilage damage is a common condition, and various approaches exist to address these defects. Whenever conservative treatments have been exhausted or are inadequate, surgery should be taken into consideration. However, it is essential to consider the size of the damage as well as the subchondral bone involvement. As joint replacement is not an appropriate treatment for young people, a joint-preserving technique should be preferred. One option is minced cartilage implantation. This surgical procedure is appropriate for defects of around 2 cm2. Studies demonstrated exceptional short-term and midterm outcomes in the knee and hip. This description of technique focuses on the implementation of AutoCart augmentation on the glenoid. The purpose of this note is to gain technical evidence of an all-arthroscopic cartilage implantation technique performed within the glenoid cavity.

Single-Stage Arthroscopic Minced Cartilage Implantation for Focal Cartilage Defects of the Glenoid Including Glenolabral Articular Disruption Lesions: A Technical Note.

Project description:Anterior shoulder dislocations often are associated with cartilage defects of the anterior glenoid (glenolabral articular disruption, or GLAD lesions). However, the importance of GLAD lesions for shoulder stability is usually greatly underestimated. Moreover, glenoid cartilage defects may have a high clinical relevance as the result of persistent pain and possible progression to osteoarthritis. Therefore, surgical treatment appears to be necessary. Although in older patients prosthetic arthroplasty is a useful treatment option for progressive symptomatic cartilage defects, there is still disagreement about the ideal joint-preserving method for the treatment of isolated glenoid cartilage defects, especially in younger and more active patients. In recent years, autologous chondrocyte implantation has been established as a promising treatment option for focal cartilage defects. However, most autologous chondrocyte implantation techniques have the disadvantage of requiring 2 surgical procedures and the availability of specialized laboratories, making the techniques complex and expensive. In contrast, the AutoCart procedure (Arthrex, Munich, Germany) is a cost-effective one-step procedure in which the cartilage defect is filled with a mixture of minced autologous cartilage and autologous conditioned plasma and has already shown good clinical results in the knee joint. We present an arthroscopic technique for use in glenoid cartilage defects.

Arthroscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation for Pipkin Type I Femoral Head Fracture: Technical Note.

Project description:Femoral head fractures after posterior dislocation of the hip are uncommon and are conventionally treated by an open method. Hip arthroscopy can be a valuable treatment option for the management of femoral head fractures. Arthroscopy allows for a less invasive option when compared with arthrotomy and can allow faster recovery with minimal soft-tissue injury. We describe the arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation of Pipkin type I femoral head fractures with a detailed stepwise description of the surgical technique, including technical pearls and pitfalls, potential complications, and advantages and disadvantages.

Comparison of Minced Cartilage Implantation with Autologous Chondrocyte Transplantation in an In Vitro Inflammation Model.

Project description:The current gold standard to treat large cartilage defects is autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT). As a new surgical method of cartilage regeneration, minced cartilage implantation (MCI) is increasingly coming into focus. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of chondrogenesis between isolated and cultured chondrocytes compared to cartilage chips in a standardized inflammation model with the proinflammatory cytokine TNFα. Articular chondrocytes from bovine cartilage were cultured according to the ACT method to passage 3 and transferred to spheroid culture. At the same time, cartilage was fragmented (<1 mm3) to produce cartilage chips. TNFα (20 ng/mL) was supplemented to simulate an inflammatory process. TNFα had a stronger influence on the passaged chondrocytes compared to the non-passaged ones, affecting gene expression profiles differently between isolated chondrocytes and cartilage chips. MCI showed less susceptibility to TNFα, with reduced IL-6 release and less impact on inflammation markers. Biochemical and histological analyses supported these findings, showing a greater negative influence of TNFα on the passaged pellet cultures compared to the unpassaged cells and MCI constructs. This study demonstrated the negative influence of TNFα on chondrogenesis in a chondrocyte spheroid culture and cartilage fragment model. Passaged chondrocytes are more sensitive to cytokine influences compared to non-passaged cells and chondrons. This suggests that MCI may have superior regeneration potential in osteoarthritic conditions compared to ACT. Further investigations are necessary for the translation of these findings into clinical practice.

Autologous minced cartilage implantation in osteochondral lesions of the talus-does fibrin make the difference?

Project description:IntroductionImplantation of minced cartilage is a one-step-procedure that leads to satisfactory results in osteochondral defects.Material and methodsA retrospective review was performed on a consecutive cohort of patients that received minced cartilage with fibrin (MCF), minced cartilage with membrane and fibrin (MCMF) and minced cartilage with the "AutoCart"-procedure (MCAC) between January 2019 and December 2023. Radiological outcome parameters were evaluated via Magnet-Resonance-Tomography (MRI) within one year using Ankle-Osteoarthritis-Scoring-System (AOSS).ResultsFinal data included 25 patients: 13 women and 12 men with a mean age of 28.2 years ± 10.9(range:18-51). Mean defect size was 103.6mm2 ± 59.0(95% CI = 79.2-128.0), mean depth 5.2 mm ± 3.6(3.7-6.6). Differences between groups in defect sizes were not significant (p = 0.999). MCF was carried out in 9(36.0%), MCMF in 7(28.0%) and MCAC in 9(36.0%) patients. Mean postoperative AOSS values were 2.6 ± 1.9(95%CI:1.1-4.1) for MCF-patients, 3.3 ± 2.9(0.6-5.9) for MCMF patients and 3.9 ± 2.8(1.7-6.1) for MCAC-patients, respectively. Differences were not significant (p = 0.639). Revision surgery because of symptomatic non-integration of the graft or ventral impingement occurred in 5(20%) of cases - all part of MCAC-patients that did not receive additional fibrin fixation as the top layer of transplant (p < 0.05).ConclusionsAutologous minced cartilage implantation seems to be sufficient as a viable, one-step treatment for osteochondral lesions of the talus. It leads to low complication rates and excellent AOSS values within a 12-month period whereas the application of fibrin as the last fixation layer seems to be advisory, which demands further investigation.

Technical Note for Transfemoral Implantation of Tapered Revision Stems. The Advantage to Stay Short.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim was to test the hypothesis that during transfemoral implantation of a conical revision stem, the fixation of the stem at the distal tip leads to a low rate of periprosthetic fractures.Material and methodsTwo hundred eighty-two stem revisions by a transfemoral approach in cases of Paprosky Type II and IIIA-defects (with a sufficient isthmus) were carried out and analyzed during and radiographically after the surgery for unintentional periprosthetic fractures below the osteotomy.ResultsIn all cases, fixation was always achieved at the tip of the distal component in the isthmus of the femur. No periprosthetic fractures were observed.ConclusionsWhen the isthmus of the femur is intact, a transfemoral implantation of a tapered revision stem at the distal end reduces the risk of periprosthetic fractures by preventing bypassing the isthmus with the stem. Knowing the difference between the nominal diameter and the diameter at the distal start of the conical zone can help to create this fixation technique resulting in short revision stems.

Treatment of glenoid chondral defect using micronized allogeneic cartilage matrix implantation.

Project description:Focal chondral lesions of the glenohumeral joint, though less common than chondral defects in the knee or ankle, can be a significant source of pain in an active population. For patients in whom nonsurgical management fails, promising results have been reported after arthroscopic microfracture surgery to treat such lesions. However, microfracture leads to growth of fibrocartilage tissue and is biomechanically less durable than native hyaline cartilage. Recently, augmentation of the microfractured defect with micronized allogeneic cartilage and platelet-rich plasma has been described to restore hyaline-like cartilage and potentially protect the subchondral bone from postsurgical fracture biology within the base of the defect. We present a simple arthroscopic technique of implanting dehydrated, micronized allogeneic cartilage scaffold to treat an isolated chondral lesion of the glenoid.
