Purpose: This study aims to explore the clinical value of autogenous tibial periosteal bone grafting in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) and analyze the three-dimensional factors in the necrotic zone of the talus.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 36 patients who underwent autogenous tibial periosteal bone grafting in the Foot and Ankle Surgery Department of our hospital between September 2018 and September 2022. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Chinese Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) were used to evaluate treatment efficacy prior to surgery and at the last follow-up. Furthermore, Mimics 21.0 software was employed to measure the three-dimensional data of the necrotic area, including surface area, volume, and depth, in order to investigate their potential impact on patient prognosis.

Results: Among the 36 OLT patients who obtained complete follow-up, there were 22 males and 14 females. No complications such as surgical site infection, non-union of cartilage, post-traumatic arthritis, or donor site pain were observed. The AOFAS, VAS, and Chinese SF-36 scores of all patients at the last follow-up showed significant improvement compared to preoperative values. There was no significant correlation between the AOFAS, VAS, and Chinese SF-36 scores at the last follow-up and the depth, surface area, and volume of the necrotic zone.

Conclusion: The use of autogenous tibial periosteal bone grafting can safely and effectively treat Hepple V OLT. Additionally, there is no significant correlation between the three-dimensional factors of the necrotic area and the prognosis of the patients.

Purpose: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare condition typically manifesting within the first decade of life. The primary objectives of surgical intervention for CPT include achieving long-term bony union of the tibia, preventing or minimizing limb length discrepancies (LLD), avoiding mechanical axis deviations of the tibia and adjacent joints, and preventing refracture. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of current treatment methods for CPT to determine the most effective non-surgical and surgical management strategies for pediatric patients with this condition.

Background: Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia (CPT) is a rare pediatric condition presenting substantial challenges for orthopedic surgeons. Aiming to achieve bone union, with subsequent complications such as refractures being common. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the results of our intentional cross-union protocol and to compare these outcomes with those obtained from our previously used techniques.

Background: Knee arthroplasty procedures improve pain, function, stability, and appearance of the limb. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in severe, long-standing osteoarthritis (OA) with large medial tibial defects could be a challenge. This paper looks at TKA outcomes when large tibial defects are managed without metal wedges or stems.

Article Synopsis
  • A review of cadaver studies was conducted to evaluate the decrease in compressive strength after surgery, adhering to PRISMA guidelines while utilizing databases like PubMed and Google Scholar.* -
  • Out of the five studies involving 49 cadavers, one study found a statistically significant decrease in force leading to fracture (FLF) in decancellated tibias compared to the healthy ones, with a mean FLF of 3766.9 N versus 5126.4 N.* -
  • Although most FLF values in the studies were significantly above the body weight threshold for safety, some cadavers recorded FLF below this threshold, suggesting that while weight-bearing after the procedure seems statistically acceptable, clinical safety cannot be universally

Aims: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) has traditionally been a difficult condition to treat, with high complication rates, including nonunion, refractures, malalignment, and leg length discrepancy. Surgical approaches to treatment of CPT include intramedullary rodding, external fixation, combined intramedullary rodding and external fixation, vascularized fibular graft, and most recently cross-union. The current study aims to compare the outcomes and complication rates of cross-union versus other surgical approaches as an index surgery for the management of CPT.
