Arthroscopic treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus

Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated mid-term results of patients who underwent arthroscopic treatment for osteochondral lesions of the talus. Methods: The study included 28 patients (17 males, 11 females; mean age 30.3 years; range 22-55 years) who had osteochondral lesions of the talus and were treated by arthroscopic surgery. Mean duration between the occurrence of symptoms and surgery was 8.3 months (range 3 to 17 months). Twenty-two patients (79%) had a history of trauma. Lesions were located laterally in 11 (40%) and medially in 17 (60%) patients. According to the radiologic classification (Berndt and Harty), 12 patients had stage II, six had stage III and 10 had stage IV lesions. Arthroscopic treatment consisted of antegrade drilling in stage II, removal of the loose body combined with debridement and drilling in stage III, and removal of the loose body combined with debridement and curettage in stage IV lesions. The mean follow-up was 51.1 months (range 11 to 108 months). Results: The mean preoperative and postoperative AOFAS scores were 71.6 and 86.5, respectively. According to the Martin scoring, the results were excellent in 14 patients, good in 10, and fair in four patients. Radiologic evaluation showed subchondral remodelation in stage II lesions; subchondral changes were observed in stage III and IV lesions, but these did not suggest arthritic changes. Conclusion: We concluded that arthroscopic treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus is a successful and effective method due to less morbidity, a shorter rehabilitation period, and opportunity to return more rapidly to daily activities.
