Abstract

Introduction

Osteochondral lesions (OCLs) of the talus are a challenging and increasingly recognized problem in chronic ankle pain. Many novel techniques exist to attempt to treat this challenging entity. Difficulties associated with treating OCLs include lesion location, size, chronicity, and problems associated with potential graft harvest sites. Matrix associated stem cell transplantation (MAST) is one such treatment described for larger lesions >15mm2 or failed alternative therapies. This cohort study describes a medium-term review of the outcomes of talar lesions treated with MAST.

Methods

A review of all patients treated with MAST by a single surgeon was conducted. Preoperative radiographs, MRIs and FAOS outcome questionnaire scores were conducted. Intraoperative classification was undertaken to correlate with imaging. Postoperative outcomes included FAOS scores, return to sport, revision surgery/failure of treatment and progression to arthritis/fusion surgery.

Results

58 MAST procedures in 57 patients were identified in this cohort. The mean follow up was 5 years. There were 20 females and37males, with a mean age of 37 years (SD 9.1). 22 patients had lateral OCLS were and 35 patients had medial OCLs. Of this cohort 32patients had previous surgery and 25 had this procedure as a primary event. 15 patients had one failed previous surgery, 9 patients had two, four patients had three previous surgeries and three patients had four previous surgeries. 12 patients had corrective or realignment procedures at the time of surgery. In terms of complications 3 patients of this cohort went on to have an ankle fusion and two of these had medial malleolar metal work taken out prior to this, 5 patients had additional procedures for arthrofibrotic debridements, 1 patient had a repeat MAST procedure, 1 additional patients had removal of medial malleolar osteotomy screws for pain at the osteotomy site, there were 2 wound complications one related to the ankle and one related to pain at the iliac crest donor site.
