RESUMO
BACKGROUND: To systematically evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic microfracture surgery combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in treating osteochondral lesions of talus (OLT). METHOD: A computer-based search of the PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library was developed. The search time was dated in December 2022. Randomized controlled trials and prospective case control studies comparing the treatment of OLT with microfracture surgery combined with PRP injection and microfracture surgery alone were included. The quality of the literatures were evaluated. Meta analysis was completed using the data of postoperative pain and function scores of the ankle joint reported in the literature. RESULTS: Five randomized controlled trials with a total of 198 patients were included. Compared with microfracture surgery alone, meta-analysis showed that the postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score for ankle pain was significantly lower (P < 0.001), and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score (AOFAS) was significantly better ( P < 0.001) in the group of microfracture surgery combined with PRP injection. The change of VAS and AOFAS was also significantly better in the group of microfracture surgery combined with PRP injection (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic microfracture surgery combined with PRP injection in treating OLT can significantly reduce pain and improve ankle function. More long-term follow-up, high-quality studies are needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.

This paper aimed to investigate the biomechanical changes during the talus impact with the calcaneus at varying velocities. Various three-dimensional reconstruction software was utilized to construct a finite element model that consisted of the talus, calcaneus, and ligaments. The explicit dynamics method was used to explore the process of the talus impacting on the calcaneus. The velocity of impact was altered from 5 m/s to 10 m/s with a 1 m/s interval. Stress readings were collected from the posterior, intermediate, and anterior subtalar articular (PSA, ISA, ASA), calcaneocubic articular (CA), Gissane Angle (GA), calcaneal base (BC), medial wall (MW), and lateral wall (LW) of the calcaneus. The changes in the amount and distribution of stress in the different regions of the calcaneus that varied with velocity were analysed. The model was validated through comparison with findings from the existing literature. During the process of impact between the talus and calcaneus, the stress in the PSA reached its peak first. Notably, stress was concentrated mainly in the PSA, ASA, MW, and LW of the calcaneus. At varying impact velocities of the talus, the mean maximum stress of the PSA, LW, CA, BA, and MW exhibited statistically significant differences (P values were 0.024, 0.004, <0.001, <0.001, and 0.001, respectively). However, the mean maximum stress of the ISA, ASA, and GA was not statistically significant (P values were 0.289, 0.213, and 0.087, respectively). In comparison with the velocity at 5 m/s, the mean maximum stress increases in each region of the calcaneus at a velocity of 10 m/s were as follows: PSA 73.81%, ISA 7.11%, ASA 63.57%, GA 89.10%, LW 140.16%, CA 140.58%, BC 137.67%, MW 135.99%. The regions of stress concentration were altered, and the magnitude and sequence of peak stress in the calcaneus also varied according to the velocity of the talus during impact. In conclusion, the velocity of the talus during impact had a significant influence on the magnitude and distribution of stress within the calcaneus, which was a crucial factor in the development of calcaneal fractures. It was possible that the magnitude and sequence of stress peaks played a vital role in determining the emergence of fracture patterns.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To systematic evaluate the outcome of open-wedge high tibial osteotomy(OWHTO) and unicomartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in treating medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. METHODS: According to the retrieval strategy made by the Cochrane collaboration, a computer-base research of Medline, Pubmed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, and Wanfang databases was performed and search deadline was March 2018. Related Chinese and English orthopedic journals and conference papers were manually searched. Controlled studies of OWHTO and UKA in the treatment of medial knee osteoarthritis were included. The quality of included researches was evaluated, and the data of postoperative knee function, complications, total knee arthroplasty(TKA) revision rates, and postoperative pain were extracted. Meta analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.0 software. RESULTS: A total of 8 articles that met the criteria were included containing a total of 675 patients. Meta-analysis showed that there was no significant difference in postoperative HSS score, knee score, functional score, and Lysholm score between the OWHTO and UKA groups(P=0.32, P=0.87, P=0.22, P=0.53). The range of joint motion in the OWHTO group was better than that in the UKA group, and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.009). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications and the rates of revision to TKA between the two groups(P=0.81, P=0.23). There was no difference in postoperative knee pain between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: In the treatment of medial compartmental osteoarthritis of the knee that meets the surgical indications, OWHTO had better postoperative joint mobility. The results were similar in postoperative knee score, postoperative complications, and postoperative TKA revision rates between OWHTO and UKA groups.

OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to compare the intercondylar notch angle (INA) and tibial slope in patients with and without anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and determine the risk factors and influence of these anatomic variations on ACL injury. METHODS: Participants with and without non-contact ACL injuries were included in the patient and control groups, respectively. The INA (formed by the femoral axis and Blumensaat line), lateral tibial slope (LTS), and medial tibial slope (MTS) were measured on magnetic resonance images. Comparisons were performed between the two groups. A binary logistic regression model was used to determine the influence of the variables on ACL injury. RESULTS: Fifty-two participants were included in each group. The INA was significantly smaller and the LTS was significantly greater in the patients than in the controls. No difference was found in the MTS between the two groups. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the combination of the INA and LTS was 0.776 (95% confidence interval, 0.688-0.864). CONCLUSIONS: The INA was smaller and the LTS was greater in patients with than without ACL tears. The INA in combination with the LTS could be used to predict ACL injury.
