Favorable long-term clinical and radiologic outcomes with high survivorship after autologous osteochondral transplantation of the talus
To evaluate long-term clinical, functional, and radiologic outcomes of patients undergoing autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) for osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) and to analyze the correlation between clinical and radiologic outcomes.
Key Findings:
Satisfactory long-term clinical outcomes were achieved in patients undergoing AOT for OLT.
High survivorship rates were observed, with low reoperation (6%) and failure rates (1%).
Correlation between clinical outcomes and radiologic findings was established.
Interpretation:
The study supports AOT as an effective treatment for OLT, demonstrating favorable long-term outcomes and a strong correlation between clinical and radiologic assessments.
Limitations:
Retrospective design may introduce selection bias.
Limited generalizability due to the specific patient population and surgical technique.
Conclusion:
AOT for OLT provides favorable long-term clinical and radiologic outcomes, supporting its use as a viable surgical option for patients with persistent symptoms after non-operative treatment.
