Description
Summary:Osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT) is one of the common causes of ankle pain. This disorder is common in young athletes after ankle injury. There are various therapeutic options. One of the options is mosaic plasticizer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mosaicplasty on improvement of symptoms of patients with osteochondral lesions of talus. Nineteen patients with osteochondral lesions of talus participated in this study, who were treated with mosaicplasty. Before and after treatment, pain (visual analogue scale), function (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society), range of motion and radiographic signs were evaluated. The results of this study showed that mosaicplasty could significantly reduce pain, increase function and improve radiographic symptoms. The range of motion increased after treatment, which was not significant. We can confirm the effect of mosaicplasty on the improvement of patients with osteochondral lesions of the ankle, suggesting it as a treatment option.
