Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans of the talus can be a challenging condition to treat in young patients. Previously described osteochondral autograft transfer techniques for medial talar lesions have been done via open approach, often requiring medial malleolus osteotomy. The purpose of this article is to present an all-arthroscopic osteochondral autograft transfer technique for a medial talar osteochondritis dissecans lesion in a skeletally immature patient.

Background: For patients with osteoporosis and rotator cuff tears, there is still no consensus on current treatment methods. The material, structure, and number of anchors have important effects on the repair outcome.
Purpose: To investigate the use of chitosan quaternary ammonium salt-coated nickel-titanium memory alloy (NTMA) anchors to treat rotator cuff injury in shoulders with osteoporosis in a rabbit osteoporosis model.

Introduction: Interspace defects after osteochondral autograft transfer (OATS) are filled only with fibrocartilage. Attempts have been made to address these issues in OATS with procedures like mega OATS and Hexagonal Osteochondral Graft System. We have described the functional outcomes of a hybrid technique combining a regeneration and a restoration modality to address the interspace defect in OATS.

Osteochondral lesions of the talus are chondral lesions affecting the subchondral bone mostly due to acute ankle trauma, including either sprains or fractures. After failure of conservative treatment, operative treatment is necessary, with different surgical techniques described in the literature. We describe a single-step osteochondral autograft transfer to access the medial talar dome lesion that avoids the need for a medial malleolar osteotomy and therefore eliminates morbidity while reducing operative time.

Introduction: Distal femoral cartilage lesions can be treated using osteochondral autograft transfer (OAT). When impacting plugs into a recipient site, the cartilage may fracture. This study aimed to analyze OAT donor regions and impaction energies to identify characteristics that lead to fracture.

Objective: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the quality of the reparative cartilage during second-look needle arthroscopy following talar osteoperiostic grafting from the iliac crest (TOPIC) or autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) procedure for the management of large osteochondral lesions (OCLs) of the talus.
Design: Prospective case series.
Methods: Patients who underwent second-look needle arthroscopy following either TOPIC or AOT procedure were prospectively recruited when they needed a second look.
