Synthetic Resorbable Scaffolds for the Treatment of Isolated Patellofemoral Cartilage Defects in Young Patients

Abstract: A synthetic implant can improve symptoms and joint function, especially for small lesions, only for a short period of time. However, 2 years of monitoring has shown its failure in restoring the subchondral bone despite the formation of predominant hyaline cartilage from synthetic resorbable scaffolds. Under current conditions and according to our experience, we do not recommend TruFit synthetic implants for osteochondral patellar defects in active patients.

“…Clinical use of native autologous osteoperiosteal grafting has been reported for the filling of donor-site defects after mosaicplasty or for primary treatment of osteochondral defects [12]. Artificial "off-the-shelf" implants, recently showed a catastrophic clinical outcome with a revision rate up to 70 % [7,8]. Our data support the use of autologous protocols as autologous periosteum-bone grafts can provide a complete restoration of the subchondral cancellous bone defect.…”

“…This difference in outcomes may relate to the overall differences in activity levels between patients given the difference in mean age, although the use of different outcome measurement tools precludes direct comparisons between these studies. Our results demonstrated improved clinical outcome scores, with maintained activity levels, although there was a decline in activity postoperatively, whereas patients in the study by Joshi et al 32 returned to running and highimpact activities by 12 months. This transient decrease in MAS noted in our patients at 1 year may be functionally significant; however, patients can be encouraged that their activity levels should gradually return to their preoperative baseline with longitudinal follow-up.…”

“…Synthetic scaffolds have been sparingly used to treat patellofemoral osteochondral lesions. The only reported study was that by Joshi et al 32 in 2012. They treated a cohort of 10 patients with full-thickness chondral defects of the patella, with an average age of 33 years, with the same synthetic scaffold plugs utilized in this study.…”

“…Some commercial bilayered scaffolds, e.g. Trufit Ò and MaioRegen Ò , have been applied clinically in acellular strategies [21][22][23]. Kon et al [21] showed that multilayer collagen/nanohydroxyapatite scaffolds promoted bone and cartilage tissue restoration.…”
