ACI for Ankle Cartilage DefectsACI for Ankle Cartilage Defects
Microfracture produces fibrocartilage that deteriorates within two to three years for ankle cartilage lesions over 15 mm in diameter; autologous chondrocyte implantation regenerates more durable, hyaline-like cartilage that more closely resembles native tissue for larger defects.Microfracture produces fibrocartilage that deteriorates within two to three years for ankle cartilage lesions over 15 mm in diameter; autologous chondrocyte implantation regenerates more durable, hyaline-like cartilage that more closely resembles native tissue for larger defects.
Osteochondral Allograft for Ankle Cartilage DefectsOsteochondral Allograft for Ankle Cartilage Defects
Lesions on the talus larger than 15mm fail with microfracture repair; osteochondral allograft instead restores the cartilage and bone using donor tissue, achieving 85% survivorship at ten years.Lesions on the talus larger than 15mm fail with microfracture repair; osteochondral allograft instead restores the cartilage and bone using donor tissue, achieving 85% survivorship at ten years.
