Osteochondral lesions (OCLs) that are frequently encountered in skeletally immature and adult patients are more common than once thought, and their incidence rate is rising. These lesions can appear in many synovial joints of the body, such as the shoulder, elbow, hip, and ankle, occurring most often in the knee. The term osteochondral lesion includes a vast spectrum of pathologies such as osteochondritis dissecans, osteochondral defects, osteochondral fractures, and osteonecrosis of the subchondral bone. When considering this, the term osteochondral fracture is preserved only for an osteochondral defect that combines disruption of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone. These fractures commonly occur after sports practice and are associated with acute lateral patellar dislocations. Many of these lesions are initially diagnosed by plain radiographs; however, a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can add significant value to the diagnosis and treatment. Treatment methods may vary depending on the location and size of the fracture, fragment instability, and skeletal maturity. The paper reports a 14-year-old boy case with an osteochondral fracture due to sports trauma. The medical approach involved an arthrotomy of the knee, drainage of the hematoma, two Kirschner wires (K-wires) for temporary fixation to restructure anatomic alignment, and a titanium Herbert screw fixing the fracture permanently. The patient had a favorable postoperative outcome with no residual pain, adequate knee stability, and a normal range of motion. The mobility of the knee was fully recovered.

Osteochondral Allografts in Knee Surgery: Narrative Review of Evidence to Date.

Authors:
Wilson C Lai Hunter L Bohlen Nathan P Fackler Dean Wang

Orthop Res Rev 2022 11;14:263-274. Epub 2022 Aug 11.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, UCI Health, Orange, CA, USA.

Knee articular cartilage defects can result in significant pain and loss of function in active patients. Osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation offers a single-stage solution to address large chondral and osteochondral defects by resurfacing focal cartilage defects with mature hyaline cartilage. To date, OCA transplantation of the knee has demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes and long-term survivorship. Read More

Department of Radiology, Teikyo University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.

Limited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM) is characterized by a fibroneural tethering stalk linking the skin lesion to the underlying spinal cord. LDM without an extradural stalk is rare. A full-term boy was noted at birth to have a dimple in the upper back (dorsal skin of the lower thoracic region). Read More

Joseph G Wasser Brad D Hendershot Julian C Acasio Rebecca L Krupenevich Alison L Pruziner Ross H Miller Stephen M Goldman Michael S Valerio Lien T Senchak Mark D Murphey David A Heltzel Michael G Fazio Christopher L Dearth Nelson A Hager

Mil Med 2022 Jul 9. Epub 2022 Jul 9.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA.

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a primary source of long-term disability and decreased quality of life (QoL) in service members (SM) with lower limb loss (LL); however, it remains difficult to preemptively identify and mitigate the progression of KOA and KOA-related symptoms. The objective of this study was to explore a comprehensive cross-sectional evaluation, at the baseline of a prospective study, for characterizing KOA in SM with traumatic LL.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-eight male SM with traumatic unilateral LL (23 transtibial and 15 transfemoral), 9. Read More

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022 Jun 9. Epub 2022 Jun 9.

Aestheticum, Karlsplatz (Stachus) 4, 80335, München, Germany.

Introduction: The integrity of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints is essential for finger and hand function. Preservation of range-of-motion is one of the aims in reconstruction of complex injuries to these joints. Osteochondral transplants have shown to be reliable in reconstruction of various joint defects. Read More
