16 CHRONIC CHRONIC OSTEOCHONDRAL OSTEOCHONDRAL LESIONS LESIONS OF THE OFTHE TALUS TALUS

17 Indications for Surgery All CT or MRI Stage 1 & 2 Lesions That Fail Nonsurgical Rx All CT or MRI Stage 3 Lesions in Children Under 18 that Fail Nonsurgical Rx All CT or MRI Stage 3 Lesions in Adults & Children All CT or MRI Stage 4 Lesions in Adults & Children

18 Chronic OLT in Children Treat in Cast or Boot for 6 Weeks Physical Therapy Treat Conservatively Transtalar Drilling Without or With Bone Graft to Maintain Integrity of Articular Cartilage Bone Graft & Reattach Loose Chronic Lesions if Possible Excision, MicroFx Drilling Only If OLT Nonviable

19 Treatment Options for Cartilage Defects < 1 cm 2 Debridement Drilling MicroFracture cm 2 Debridement Drilling MicroFracture Osteochondral Transplants ACI Allografts Juvenile Allografts Micronized Cartilage Matrix cm 2 Drilling Osteochondral Transplants ACI Allografts Juvenile Allografts Micronized Cartilage Matrix

20 Factors Influencing Choice of OLT Surgical Procedure Size of Lesion Location of Lesion Containment of OLT Subchondral Cyst Status of Cartilage Cap Associated Pathology Patient Preference

21 Identify Lesion CT or MRI Verify that Lesion is Source of Pain Appropriate Conservative Treatment Chronic OLT In Adults T-M or T-T Drill if Not Loose Pin If Loose and Articular Cartilage Healthy Excise if Loose or Displaced, Then Drill/Microfracture Base Bone Graft Cyst if Large Via T-T or T-M

25 Microfracture Place Holes 3-4 mm Apart and 4 mm Deep Avoid Collapsing Subchondral Plate Can Be Combined with Drilling J.J.

26 Use: Pick Assist Accessory to (Curved) Microfracture Picks Allows Surgeon to Use Mallet and Drive Tip of the Pick In the Intended Direction (Striking Plate on Handle) Hard Bone Minimize Skiving, Damage to Opposite Side Cartilage

27 MicroFx/Drilling How Deep is Enough? Steadman, R. et al. Do 3-4mm Deep Chen, H. et al. Drilling 6mm Depth Produced Better Fill and Quality of Cartilage Than 2mm Depth MicroFx Results Similar to Drilling at 2mm Depth At This Time, It is Not Clear Which Technique Gives a Better Cartilage Healing Response J Orthop Res. 29:
