Purpose: To describe the long-term clinical results of arthroscopic fragment fixation for chronic primary osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT), using the Lift-Drill-Fill-Fix (LDFF) technique.
Methods: Eighteen patients (20 ankles) underwent fixation for a primary OLT with an osteochondral fragment using arthroscopic LDFF and were evaluated at a minimum of 5-year follow-up. Pre- and postoperative clinical assessment was prospectively performed by measuring the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) of pain at rest, during walking and when running.
Background: The evidence supporting best practice guidelines in the field of cartilage repair of the ankle are based on both low quality and low levels of evidence. Therefore, an international consensus group of experts was convened to collaboratively advance toward consensus opinions based on the best available evidence on key topics within cartilage repair of the ankle. The purpose of this article is to report the consensus statements on "Pediatric Ankle Cartilage Lesions" developed at the 2019 International Consensus Meeting on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle.

- An international group of 43 experts collaborated to create consensus opinions on cartilage repair terminology for ankle injuries, addressing the existing gap in best practice guidelines.
- They used the Delphi method to draft, review, and vote on key statements related to osteochondral lesions, resulting in 11 agreed-upon definitions and classifications.
- The established terminology, including terms like "osteochondral lesion of the talus" (OLT), aims to help clinicians better communicate and treat these injuries effectively.
Article Synopsis
- An international group of experts gathered to form consensus statements on cartilage repair for ankle issues, specifically focusing on osteochondral lesions of the tibial plafond and ankle instability.
- The group utilized a structured method to draft, review, and vote on statements, achieving consensus on 11 statements for OLTP and 8 for ankle instability, with several receiving strong support.
- The findings aim to guide clinicians in effectively managing these challenging ankle conditions.
Importance: Although a large number of Lisfranc injuries occur during sports, data on sports outcomes, such as return to sport (RTS) rates and times as well as level of sports activities after treatment of this injury remain limited.
Objective: The aim is to assess the RTS rates, times and the sports activity levels after different treatments of Lisfranc injuries.
Evidence Review: The electronic databases PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, CDSR, DARE and CENTRAL were searched to identify relevant articles from January 1985 to July 2020.
