Osteocondritis dissecans lesions of the knee restored by bone marrow aspirate concentrate. Clinical and imaging results in 18 patients.

Background: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a common cartilage disorder that specifically affects the knees of skeletally immature and young adult patients. There have been a few treatments that have been proposed: fixation of the fragment, drilling, microfractures. The aim of this study was to analyze retrospectively clinical and imaging results obtained by treating it with one-step bone marrow-derived cells Transplantation (BMDCT) technique.

Five years of clinical and radiological results with biplanar tibial open-wedge osteotomy: feasible option to prevent patella infera?

Introduction: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) was a treatment option for relatively young active patients with isolated medial compartment arthritis of the knee. This report showed clinical and radiological results of a new HTO technique, that uses a particular open-wedge high tibial osteotomy by incorporating the tibial tubercle into osteotomy line (TT-OWHTO) to preserve patella height.

Materials And Methods: Preoperative and postoperative function was recorded on the IKDC score, Kujala PF score, EQ-VAS and Tegner activity scale.
