Arthroscopic drilling of osteochondral lesions of the knee.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Osteochondral lesions are drilled with the aim of stimulating the growth of new cartilage to cover the defect (Pnidie 1959). This may be performed at arthrotomy or anthroscopically, but arthroscopic drilling is far from standard practice. Performed percutaneously, arthroscopic drilling by Kirschner wire can be hindered by difficulty with accurate placement, skidding off sclerotic bone and entanglement with soft tissues. A needlescope sheath (Guhl 1982), an instrument cannula or the operating arthroscope’s instrument channel

Osteochondral lesions (OCD) of the talus are a common cause of chronic ankle pain and dysfunction, especially with history of injury and trauma to the ankle [1-3]. Lesions that do not respond to non-operative treatment may require surgical intervention arthroscopically or as an open procedure. Revision repair of osteochondral lesions historically has been performed as an open procedure with inc...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Knee Osteochondral Lesions With Ultrasound Imaging.
Evaluation of articular cartilage and subchondral bone is essential in the diagnosis of joint diseases and injuries. Interobserver and intraobserver reproducibilities of arthroscopic grading are only poor to moderate. Thus, for quantitative and objective evaluation of cartilage and subchondral bone, ultrasound arthroscopy (UA) has been introduced to clarify this dilemma. Assessment of the clini...
