RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical efficacy and prognostic factors associated with autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation for the treatment of single cystic osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). METHODS: The clinical data of patients with single cystic OLT undergoing autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation at the Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery of our hospital between 2018 and 2022, including complete follow-up, were retrospectively analyzed. Imaging data from each patient were imported into Mimics software to measure the surface area, volume and depth of the lesions. Then, the talus nine-compartment partitioning method was used to partition the injury site. Preoperative and final follow-up assessments were performed using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) to evaluate treatment efficacy and analyze prognostic factors. RESULTS: Of the 31 patients with single cystic OLT with a complete set of follow-up data, there were 17 males and 14 females, with a mean age of 43.3 ± 13.6 years, a mean follow-up time of 30.1 ± 14.0 months and a mean illness duration of 30.4 ± 20.0 months. The postoperative final follow-up AOFAS score was 90.7 ± 5.5; this represented significant improvement when compared to the preoperative score of 57.0 ± 8.5 (P < 0.001). The final postoperative follow-up VAS score was 18.5 ± 8.3; this was significantly better than the preoperative score of 57.8 ± 8.7 (P < 0.001). The physical component summary (PCS) score and mental component summary (MCS) score on the SF-36 scale showed significant improvement at the final postoperative follow-up when compared to preoperative scores (p < 0.001). No other complications were observed during follow-up, such as wound infection or pain at the donor site. One of the patients showed less improvement, which may be related to premature weight-bearing or re-sprained ankle after surgery. There was no significant correlation between the duration of illness, gender and the location, depth, surface area and volume of the OLT and the postoperative scores. However, patient age showed a significant negative correlation with the postoperative SF-36 PCS and MCS scores. CONCLUSION: Autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation for single cystic OLT demonstrated good clinical efficacy with a low incidence of complications. Furthermore, age represents an important factor influencing prognosis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II.
RESUMEN
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: Analyzing the correlation between patients' basic information, three-dimensional parameters after calcaneal fractures, and the prognosis of calcaneal fractures. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 43 patients with calcaneal fractures who underwent surgical treatment in the Foot and Ankle Surgery, Xi'an Honghui Hospital, from September 2019 to August 2022. Patient demographics including gender and age were collected, as well as the preoperative posterior articular surface collapse area, number of fracture fragments, length, width, height, and volume of the calcaneus obtained from preoperative three-dimensional imaging. Patients were followed up for VAS, AOFAS, and SF-36 scores. Correlation analysis was performed on the obtained data. RESULTS: All 43 included patients received complete follow-up, including 40 males and 3 females, with an average follow-up time of 35.37 ± 10.73 months, and an average age of 43.98 ± 12.08 years. All patients' VAS, AOFAS, and SF-36 scores at the last follow-up showed no correlation with patient age, gender, or the area of posterior articular collapse, number of fracture fragments, length, width, height, or volume of the calcaneus. CONCLUSIONS: The prognosis of calcaneal fractures is unrelated to three-dimensional factors such as patient age, gender, length, width, height, volume of the calcaneus, area of the posterior joint, and number of fracture fragments.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the psychological status of patients with Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) and evaluate the effect of autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation (AOPT) on their psychological well-being. Methods: Fifty patients with Hepple V OLT who underwent AOPT at the Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Surgery Ward of Xi'an Honghui Hospital from November 2021 to May 2023 were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of preoperative symptoms of anxiety/depression. Group A comprised patients with preoperative symptoms, while Group B included patients without such symptoms. Preoperative and final follow-up assessments included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for evaluating anxiety and depression, the visual analogue scale for pain assessment, and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scores for assessing ankle and hindfoot function. Results: Among the 50 Hepple V OLT patients who obtained complete follow-up, twenty-four had preoperative symptoms of anxiety/depression, with an incidence rate of up to 48%. Patients in Groups A and B showed significant improvement in all evaluation indexes after AOPT compared to the preoperative period, but the overall prognosis of Group A was poorer than that of Group B. Conclusion: AOPT can effectively improve patients' pain, functional activities, and psychological status, and there is a significant correlation between patients' preoperative psychological status and prognosis.
RESUMEN
Background: The High Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) is a validated score that assesses functional outcomes after lower limb arthroplasty, with fewer ceiling effects than other scores. The aim is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the HAAS into a Chinese version (HAAS-C) and to evaluate the psychometric properties of HAAS-C in patients after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: A total of 104 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis who had undergone TKA at least 12 months prior were recruited. A forward and backward translation procedure was performed for developing a culturally acceptable HAAS-C. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's α, and test-retest reliability was measured using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) within a 10-day interval. Construct validity was assessed by examining the correlations between HAAS-C and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), EuroQoL Group's five-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), and Oxford knee score (OKS). Results: HAAS-C demonstrated adequate Internal consistency reliability, as indicated by Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.75. Test-retest reliability yielded excellent results, with an ICC value of 0.98. Content validity indices were high, with a scale-level validity index of 0.9 and item-level validity indices greater than or equal to 0.8. HAAS-C showed a strong correlation with WOMAC (r = 0.69), a moderate correlation with EQ-5D-5L (r = 0.43), and OKS (r = 0.53) while exhibiting no floor or ceiling effects. Conclusion: The validated HAAS-C questionnaire is a valid instrument for assessing patients undergoing TKA in mainland China.
