Purpose: Osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT) is one of the common causes of ankle pain. This disorder is common in young athletes after ankle injury. There are various therapeutic options. One of the options is mosaic plasticizer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mosaicplasty on improvement of symptoms of patients with osteochondral lesions of talus.
Methods: Nineteen patients with osteochondral lesions of talus participated in this study, who were treated with mosaicplasty. Before and after treatment, pain (visual analogue scale), function (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society), range of motion and radiographic signs were evaluated.
Results: The results of this study showed that mosaicplasty could significantly reduce pain, increase function and improve radiographic symptoms. The range of motion increased after treatment, which was not significant.
Conclusion: We can confirm the effect of mosaicplasty on the improvement of patients with osteochondral lesions of the ankle, suggesting it as a treatment option.

Clinical and radiological comparisons of isolated posterior malleolar fractures treated surgically and conservatively.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Etlik City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: Isolated posterior malleolar (PM) fractures are rare fractures without consensus regarding treatment decisions and functional outcomes. The study aims to compare the clinical and radiological results of patients treated surgically or conservatively for isolated PM fractures.
Methods: The study included 30 patients who presented with an isolated PM fracture and were treated conservatively (n = 15) or with surgery (n = 15).
Combination Treatment with Thread-Embedding Acupuncture and Electroacupuncture for Knee Osteoarthritis Patients with Postoperative Pain: A Randomized Controlled Feasibility Study.
J Pain Res

Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Medicine, College of Korean Medicine, Daejeon University, Daejeon, Republic of Korea.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combination treatment with thread-embedding acupuncture (TEA) and electroacupuncture (EA) in patients with persistent knee pain after arthroscopic surgery, autologous chondrocyte implantation, or autologous osteochondral transplantation.
Patients And Methods: Twelve patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) who experienced postoperative pain were randomized to either the treatment group (TG) or control group (CG) in a 1:1 ratio. The TG received TEA once a week for four sessions and EA twice a week for eight sessions while continuing usual care, defined as standard conventional treatments.
Re-arthroscopic Findings 18 Years After Osteochondral Autologous Transplantation for Cartilage Lesion in the Knee: A Case Report.

Introduction: Despite the good clinical outcomes of osteochondral autograft transplantation (OAT), reports of re-arthroscopic findings after OAT have been limited to short-term, and there are no reports of findings after long-term follow-up. This is the first report that describes re-arthroscopic findings long-term after OAT.
Case Report: A male patient underwent OAT on the lateral femoral condyle (LFC) of the knee and lateral meniscus (LM) repair at the age of 45.
Osteochondral defects (OCD) pose a significant clinical challenge due to the limited self-repair capacity of cartilage, leading to pain, joint dysfunction, and progression to osteoarthritis. Cellular implantations of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) enhanced with treatment of factors, such as small molecule Kartogenin (KGN) to promote chondrogenic differentiation, are promising but these cells often encounter hypertrophy during differentiation, compromising long-term stability. Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived MSCs (iMSCs) offer greater proliferative and differentiation capacity than MSCs and may provide a superior source of cells for cartilage repair.

Background: Rib and sternum fractures are common injuries associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The fracture mechanism is either direct by application of force on sternum and anterior ribs or indirect by bending through compression of the thorax. The aim of this study was to determine morphologies of rib fractures after CPR and to reevaluate prior findings on fracture localisation, type and degree of dislocation.
