Is Antegrade Transmalleolar Drilling Method for Osteochondral Lesion of Talus Necessary? Iatrogenic Cystic Formation at the Tibia: A Report of Five Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antegrade transmalleolar drilling method is one of the options for the treatment of osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT). We present five patients who underwent tibial drilling for treatment of OLT and later developed distal tibial cystic formation induced by cartilage opening or heat necrosis during drilling. Antegrade transmalleolar drilling can be a possible option for the treatment of OLT if the lesion is not easily reachable; however, other viable treatment should be considered due to its possibility of distal tibial pathologic change.

The goal in osteochondral defects of the talus in Stages I and II according to Berndt and Harty is revascularization of the lesion.3 A debridement of the chondral part is required if symptomatic.1,24 This debridement is limited to loose cartilage or cartilage with poor quality.1,22,24 Subchondral drillings of the lesion allow a revascularization. Retrograde drillings leave the chondral surface ...

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...
