Description
Dong Shim and three co-authors present a study from twenty twenty-three on recycling a patient's own cartilage to fix ankle bone lesions. Such lesions in the talus bone cause chronic ankle pain. Many repair routes exist, each with flaws. Their route grinds the lesion's own cartilage into chips and plants them back in the hole. Just over thirty patients took part, with at least a year of follow up.
Nearly all lesions were of the worst grade at the start. Repair scores on scans rose a lot at one year in those checked. Scope looks in a few showed near normal new cartilage. Pain and foot function scores all improved in a clear way. The team calls the route safe and sound for short term gains.
