Abstract:
Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) may progress to
ankle arthritis needing ankle arthroplasty or arthrodesis. We
report five cases of OLTs treated along the principles
developed for chondrogenesis of the knee joint with
autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs), resulting in
repair and regeneration of the bone and cartilage
components. Improvement in Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale
(AOS) scores with minimum two years follow-up showed
statistical significance (p < 0.05).
