Osteochondral lesions of the talus involve injury to the articular cartilage and underlying subchondral bone. These lesions are difficult to treat because of the poor blood supply and poor regenerative capacity of the talar articular cartilage. It is important to provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical presentation, diagnostic tools, and nonsurgical and surgical treatment strategies for osteochondral lesions of the talus.

Osteochondral and chondral injuries of the patellofemoral joint are common in active patients, and effective management requires a thorough physical and imaging evaluation, a detailed understanding of the unique anatomic and biomechanical joint properties contributing to these injuries, and an appropriate selection of treatment modality. Diagnosis of patellofemoral chondral injuries can be challenging, and differentiating between various causes of anterior knee pain is crucial to successful outcomes. Once identified, nonsurgical treatments including physical therapy, bracing, and injections are a mainstay of initial management.

In bone tissue engineering, manufacturing bone tissue constructs that closely replicate physiological features for regenerative repair remains a significant challenge. In recent years, the advent of indirect 3D printing technology has overcome the stringent material demands, confined resolution, and structural control challenges inherent to direct 3D printing. By utilizing sacrificial templates, the natural structures and physiological functions of bone tissues can be precisely duplicated.
