About this study

Assess clinical and radiological outcome of the various surgical techniques for treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus

Read the detailed description

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the talus is a subchondral bone pathology that presents as an osteochondral lesion of the talar dome with consequent articular cartilage abnormalities. Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) are frequent after acute ankle trauma. The natural history of the OLT remains unclear due to paucity of longitudinal follow-up studies. Various treatment strategies have been described for OLT, including conservative treatment and operative treatment However, the current literature does not allow firm evidence-based recommendations concerning the treatment to be established ; Microfracture is the most common reparative surgery for osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs). While shown to be effective in short- to midterm outcomes, the fibrocartilage that microfracture produces is both biomechanically and biologically inferior to that of native hyaline cartilage and is susceptible to possible deterioration over time following repair . Arthroscopic debridement (AD) for the osteochondral lesions of the talar dome (OLT) was widely documented in the nineties with satisfactory results. However, in modern treatment algorithms, its role is not described. A frequently used instrument for assessing outcome after ankle and hindfoot injuries is the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Score .

Being tested
AOFAS score and VAS

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AOFAS score and VASOther

    Clinical outcome by the Visual analogue scale (VAS) and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle (AOFAS) score.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. clinical outcome of the various surgical techniques for treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus

    clinical outcome of the various surgical techniques for treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus , Clinical outcome by the AOFAS score ( American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society), the higher score means the better outcome and the lower score means the worse outcome

    Measured: 1 year

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mena Magdy (01272640608, menamagdy2353794@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

clinical outcome of the various surgical techniques for treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jul 2022.
