Patellofemoral Articulating Osteochondral (Kissing) Lesion Treated with Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is an effective treatment for chondral defects of the knee; however, its use in kissing lesions is less well documented. CASE REPORT A 23-year-old female with a kissing lesion of the patellofemoral compartment on magnetic resonance imaging underwent two-stage ACI to her medial patella (20 mm × 22 mm) and medial trochlea (27 mm × 18 mm). At 1-year follow-up, the patient had returned to all activities with near-complete resolution of symptoms and substantial improvement in clinical outcome scores. CONCLUSION Patients with kissing lesions of the knee can be treated successfully with ACI performed to multiple sites.

Comparison of MRI and arthroscopy in modified MOCART scoring system after autologous chondrocyte implantation for osteochondral lesion of the talus.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and arthroscopy have frequently been used to evaluate articular cartilage. Many studies have compared the accuracy of MRI to that of arthroscopy. However, there have been no previous comparison studies between MRI and arthroscopy in the evaluation of repaired cartilage after autologous chondrocyte implantation using the Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilag...

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...

INTRODUCTION Matrix-assisted autologous chondrocyte implantation is a well-known procedure for the treatment of cartilage defects, which aims to establish a regenerative milieu and restore hyaline cartilage. However, much less is known about third-generation autologous chondrocyte implantation application in high-level athletes. We report on the two-year follow-up outcome after matrix-assisted ...

Clinical data suggest that the reconstruction of large osteochondral defects requires application of osseous cylinders to augment the bony defect. This prospective case series investigates the clinical outcome after impaction grafting as an alternative to osseous cylinder transplantation to reconstruct the subchondral bone plate. We report on three patients with large osteochondral defects of t...
