Purpose: This study examined the degree of cartilage regeneration by performing second-look arthroscopy in a group of patients who underwent high tibial osteotomy and microfractures for unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the medial knee joint and to determine the factors affecting cartilage regeneration. In addition, this study analyzed whether there is a relationship between the degree of cartilage regeneration and functional results. Materials and Methods: From 2007 to 2015, this study evaluated 81 cases who underwent second-look arthroscopy at the time of plate removal after a microfracture and high tibial osteotomy with a minimum two-year follow-up. The degree of femoral cartilage injury before surgery was classified by ICRS (International Cartilage Research Society), and all were grade III and IV. After second-look arthroscopy, cartilage regeneration was classified into a well-regenerated group (grade I, II) and a poorly regenerated group (grade III, IV). The independent factors influencing cartilage regeneration were identified through multivariate logistic regression analysis. In addition, the functional results were compared before and after surgery between the two groups using the Knee Society score (KSS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score (WOMAC). Results: Age, sex, body mass index, postoperative radiologic factors, and preoperative joint condition did not affect the degree of cartilage regeneration significantly. The large cartilage defect (≥2.0 cm²) (p=0.011) and the presence of kissing lesions (p=0.027) were associated with poor cartilage regeneration. No significant difference in the KSS and WOMAC scores was observed between the group with good and poor cartilage regeneration. Conclusion: The presence of a large cartilage defect and kissing lesions is associated with poor cartilage regeneration after high tibial osteotomy and microfracture. On the other hand, the degree of the regenerated cartilage did not show any correlation with the functional outcome.

최근에 스포츠 손상이 증가하고 관절경을 이용한 치료가 발전하면서 조기에 더 적극적인 치료를 하는 추세이다. 또한 방사선 소견에 비하여 관절경하에서는 연골이 불안정하거나 분리되어 있는 경우도 있으므로 기존의 수술 적응증보다는 좀 더 광범위하게 관절경 검사 및 수술적 치료가 요구된다고 생각한다. 치료 방법을 하면 $1.5cm^2$ 이하의 병변을 가진 50세 이하의 환자는 관절경을 이용하여 변연 절제술, 연골하 천공, 연마, 미세 골절술, 소파술 등의 방법으로 치료할 수 있다. 같은 방법으로 50세 이상의 $3cm^2$ 이하의 병변을 가진 환자 중 mosaicplasty와 자가 연골 세포 이식술을 적용할 수 없는 환자에서 시도해볼 수 있다. $1.5\sim3cm^2$의 병변을 가진 50세 이하의 환자, 그전의 관절경적 치료로 실패한 경우에는 자가골 연골 이식 또는 자가 연골 세포 이식술을 이용하여 치료해야 한다. $3cm^2$ 이상의 병변을 가진 50세 이하의 환자는 자가 연골 세포 이식술이나 동종 골 연골 이식을 이용하여 치료하며, 50세 이상의 환자는 관절 고정술이나 족근 관절 인공치환술을 고려하는 것이 바람직하다.

Purpose: To report the treatment results of arthroscopic osteochondroplasty in osteochondral lesion of the talus. Materials and Methods: This study included 32 patients who had osteochondral lesion of the talus treated with arthroscopic osteochondroplasty and were able to be followed up over 3 years from 1999 to 2007. The mean follow up period was 48 (38-108) months, and 22 male patients and 10 female patients with a mean age of 34 (20-56) years were included. Locations of lesion were evaluated with simple X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and severities of lesions were classified by Berndt and Harty classification. All cases were treated by arthroscopic debridement or microfracture. The treatment results were assessed by American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale and subjective and functional score of Kailkkonen. The group treated by arthroscopic microfracture was compared with the group treated by arthroscopic debridement. Results: The mean AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale was significantly improved 53 (${\pm}7$) points preoperatively to 84 (${\pm}8$) points postoperatively (P<0.001). The mean subjective and functional score was also improved 55 (${\pm}8$) points preoperatively to 88 (${\pm}8$) points postoperatively with statistical significant (P<0.001). There were no relations between the severity of lesions and the postoperative functional score of ankle (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the clinical results between the group treated with arthroscopic microfracture and the group treated with arthroscopic debridement (P>0.05). Conclusion: Arthroscopic osteochondroplasty of osteochondral lesion of the talus shows excellent result in terms of patients' satisfaction. There were no significant differences in the clinical results between arthroscopic microfracture group and debridement group.

Twenty-three patients with chronic shoulder pain beyond 6 months after the fracture of the greater tuberosity underwent arthroscopic treatment and were retrospectively assessed after an average of 29 months(range, 22 to 40 months). There were 18 men and 5 women with the average age of 39 years(range, 24 to 61 years). Fourteen were isolated fractures and nine were related to acute anterior instability episode. The average displacement of the fracture was 2.3mm(range, 0 to 4mm) on the anteroposterior view of the plane radiographs. At the time of arthroscopy, all patients had partial thickness rotator cuff tears in the articular surface. The cuff tears were located on the tuberosity fracture area and were an Ellman's grade I to n in depth. With the arthroscopic debridement or repair of the tear depending on the condition of the tear itself, as well as the subacromial decompression, the UCLA score revealed good to excellent results in 20 and fair in 3 patients. Nineteen of the patients had returned to the previous level of activities. The patient with a higher activity demand revealed a lower level of activity return(p=0.034). The partial thickness rotator cuff tear should be considered in patients with chronic shoulder pain after the minimally displaced fracture of the greater tuberosity, and arthroscopic debridement or repair is an appropriate procedure.

Microfracture as a reparative strategy is the treatment of choice for an osteochondral lesion of talus. Although the results of microfracture are generally excellent, at least 30% of patients who received microfracture have acute or chronic ankle pain with several or unknown causes. The most important factor for unsatisfactory outcome after microfracture is the size of the lesion. For failed osteochondral lesion of talus, the second options are autologous osteochondral graft, autologous chondrocyte implantation, or re-microfracture. In this article, we present the autologous chondrocyte implantation as a second procedure for failed microfracture and compare its clinical outcome with other methods based on a literature review.
