This is the first series specifically assessing patients who have had repeat arthroscopic debridement of osteochondral lesions of the talus, using the same debridement technique by a single surgeon. Our results question the assumption that repeat arthroscopic debridement yields poor results. They also provide a baseline for the newer chondral and osteochondral transplantation techniques to compare to at the medium term.
The results of this study support the use of the CT prosthesis for the management of femoral neck fractures to reduce the high incidence of intraoperative periprosthetic fractures and associated requirements for early reoperation experienced with the UAM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
