Clinical Study of Autologous Osteo-periosteal Cylinder Graft Transplantation for Hepple V Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus

Overview

The trial evaluates the clinical efficacy and safety of autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation for Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus. Half of participants will receive autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation, while the other will receive osteochondral graft transplantation as a control group.

Detailed description

Autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft surface is a periosteal structure, with the ability of repairment to cartilage, periosteum is closely connected to the cortical bone, then the deep loose cancellous bone.The objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation for Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus by randomized controlled trial. 70 patients with clinically diagnosed Hepple V talus osteochondral lesions according to 1: 1 were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group will be treated with autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation under arthroscopy. The control group will be treated with autologous osteochondral graft under arthroscopy. The patients will be treated by the same surgeon in this study group. Postoperative MRI MOCART evaluation, clinical AOFAS score, VAS score, Tegner score, and the secondary arthroscopy ICRS score will be selected as the measures of outcome. The incidence of adverse events will be recorded.

Interventions

  • Procedure autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation
    Autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation is a novel treatment for Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus.
  • Procedure autologous osteochondral graft transplantation
    Autologous osteochondral graft transplantation is the most common treatment for Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus.
  • Device autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft
    Autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft is taken from ilium.

Primary outcome measures

  • American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society(AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score [Time frame: 4 years]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
  • International Cartilage Repair Society(ICRS) score [Time frame: 4 years]
  • Magnetic Resonance Observation of cartilage repair tissue(MOCART) score [Time frame: 4 years]
  • Tegner activity level score [Time frame: 4 years]
  • Visual analogue scale [Time frame: 4 years]
