Intraosseous Bioplasty for a Chondral Cyst in the Lateral Tibial Plateau

Description
Summary:Abstract Subchondral lesions are the result of osseous modifications seen in a different array of pathologies such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, calcium pyrophosphate deposition, and osteonecrosis. The physiopathologic changes in all of the aforementioned pathologies are not clear yet. What is clear is that the development of a cystic change in the subchondral bone can cause pain and can lead to modification of the activity of daily life. To provide relief and treatment for such a condition, there are different options with joint replacement as last resort when the cyst develops in communication with the joint; if the cyst is not in communication with the joint, it is possible to perform a bioplasty as we present in this technical report. It is crucial to assess the bone continuity, especially when traumas are reported in the patient history. In our case, the tibial plateau did not have signs of collapse. The technique here presented is a minimally invasive technique that can be reproduced for focal and localized subchondral cysts.
