OLT size showed significant correlation with postoperative MRI scores (MOCART 1: P = 0.006; MOCART 2.0: P = 0.004). Finally, our experience suggests that interactive MR navigation in combination with use of a passive aiming device enables precise retrograde drilling of osteochondral lesions in the talus. Fluoroscopic imaging is a two-dimensional imaging modality; thus, switching between planes is required, resulting in a longer more arduous drilling procedure, with higher cumulative radiation exposure to the surgeon and patient (15). All drilling was performed in an open 1.0-T MR imager with a 21-cm-diameter surface ring coil (Multipurpose L; Philips Healthcare). J Bone Joint Surg Am. Diagnosis of chondral lesions of the knee joint: can MRI replace arthroscopy? MRI of the ankle is a useful study in evaluating the tendons of the ankle. Arthroscopic drilling is an effective and minimally invasive treatment. Onset is between childhood and middle age, with the majority of patients being between 10 and 40 years of age, with approximately a 2:1 male to female ratio 3. 134, No. In d, the insertion point of drilling at the lateral process of the talus (***) can be seen. This joint permits much of the up (dorsiflexion) and down (plantarflexion) motion of the foot and ankle. [ … In four cases, the cartilage was partially drilled; however, as was confirmed at talus extraction, the drills did not perforate the cartilage layer. Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD or OD) is a joint disorder primarily of the subchondral bone in which cracks form in the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone. Contact us if you experience any difficulty logging in. Figure 7: Photograph of the cadaveric ankle shows drilling safety. The artificial osteochondral lesion (aiming point) and lateral process of the talus (insertion point) must be visible. The locking bolts (B) can be seen. We found adequate anatomic contrast with an image acquisition rate of 1.6 seconds that should enable near real-time intervention. Aurich, M, Bedi, HS, Smith, PJ, Rolauffs, B, Muckley, T, Clayton, J.

If you have access to a journal via a society or association membership, please browse to your society journal, select an article to view, and follow the instructions in this box. 4.11a–c. OCD is suggested by a loss of the sharp cortical line of the articular surface. Talar dome lesions are usually caused by … For this reason, some now recommend the addition of SPECT-CT for the evaluation of OLT [25]. All 12 artificial lesions were reached with an accuracy of 1.38 mm ± 0.9 in the coronal plane and 2.67 mm ± 1.8 in the sagittal plane (Fig 8). Supported by the TSB Technologiestiftung Berlin–Zukunftsfonds Berlin, Berlin, Germany, and the European Union–European Fund for Regional Development, Berlin, Germany. 5(1):119-33. . Access to society journal content varies across our titles. The artificial osteochondral lesion (arrows) was hit, and the drill bit was left in the middle of the drilling canal. The interactive intermediate-weighted fast SE pulse sequence (repetition time msec/echo time msec, 400/8; 3-mm section thickness; 200 × 138 field of view) was shown to be superior in the initial sequence evaluation. The artificial osteochondral lesion (arrows) was hit, and the drill bit was left in the middle of the drilling canal. The tali were extracted and cut with a saw along each drilling canal. The articular cartilage imaging group of the International Cartilage Repair Society has issued detailed recommendations with r… (c, d) Photographs show the talus after drilling. In each specimen, two holes were drilled to the medial talar dome, and two were drilled to the lateral talar dome. Tegner and AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) scores were obtained at an average follow-up of 4.5 ± 1.8 years and postoperative MRI scored according to the MOCART 1 and 2.0. incidence 69% of ankle fractures; 70% of ankle sprains; 10% are bilateral 6, CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, Vol. Nicholas J Bevilacqua, DPM discusses the history and physical exam findings in patients with an osteochondral lesion of the talus. Bonnel, F, Toullec, E, Mabit, C, Tourné, Y, Sofcot. The safety criterion was to drill as close as possible to the cartilage without violating it. ; study concepts/study design or data acquisition or data analysis/interpretation, all authors; manuscript drafting or manuscript revision for important intellectual content, all authors; manuscript final version approval, all authors; literature research, C.J.S., H.J.B., T.J., I.S.P., R.S., S.S.C. 7, 16 March 2014 | Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, Vol. It is also called an osteochondral defect (OCD) or osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT). Osteochondral lesions are relatively common in children and adolescents, and the incidence is increasing. Heida, KA, Tihista, MC, Kusnezov, NA, Dunn, JC, Orr, JD. Figure 2: Schematic drawing (left) and coronal interactive intermediate-weighted fast SE MR image (right) show the first two steps of the navigation procedure. The smallest artifact of the 3.4-mm titanium spiral drill bit can be seen in d. Bottom: Coronal images of the ankle obtained during interactive drilling. Although the imaging parameters (400/8) indicate use of a T1-weighted fast SE sequence, an applied driven equilibrium pulse shifts images to intermediate weighting (18,19). In later stages of the disorder there will be swelling of the affected joint which catches and locks during movement. This term covers a wide spectrum of pathologies including (sub)chondral contusion, osteochondritis dissecans, osteochondral fracture and osteoarthritis resulting from longstanding disease. The Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus: Analyzing MOCART 1 and 2.0. Several pathologic conditions may manifest as an osteochondral lesion of the knee at MRI and cause diagnostic difficulties, including acute and traumatic osteochondral injuries, subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee, avascular necrosis, osteochondritis dissecans, and localized degenerative lesions; the typical patient demographics, clinical presentation, etiologic role of trauma, and pertinent MRI … ObjectiveTo determine the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) MOCART (Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue) 1 and 2.0 scores in the assessment of … The artificial osteochondral lesion (arrows) was hit, and the drill bit was left in the middle of the drilling canal. There was a fragmented and sclerotic fragment overlying the osteochondral lesion. This enables a merger of the diagnostic and therapeutic processes. In c, the artificial osteochondral lesion (*) was hit, but the remaining cartilage remained intact. The physician measured distances with JiveX software (version 4.2 RC10; Visus, Bochum, Germany). Non-decalcified 4-μm-thick slices were obtained and histologically stained, as described previously. I have read and accept the terms and conditions, View permissions information for this article. Drilling could be performed with an accuracy of 0.88 mm ± 0.65 to the cartilage layer at the talar dome (Fig 7). The blood supply to the talus is not as rich as many other bones in the body, and as a result injuries to the talus sometimes are more difficult to heal than similar injuries in other bones. The chondral surfaces of the patella, medial compartment, and lateral compartment were found to be intact. After drilling, the guide was held in position, and a 3.5-mm titanium fraise was inserted without problems into the drilling canal. DiGiovanni, BF, Fraga, CJ, Cohen, BE, Shereff, MJ. After modeling an ankle fixation cast and performing computed tomography (CT) of the ankle, the first step was to plan drilling with an optical navigation system. After drilling, the tali were extracted and cut along the drilling canals with a saw. Create a link to share a read only version of this article with your colleagues and friends. What can be done? The line on the MR image shows the planned drilling direction. Thus, they are difficult to depict and access with anterior arthroscopy (13).

Inset shows the location of the drill bit, while the larger image shows the drill track. The cylinder-shaped marker was positioned above the lateral process of the talus in order to avoid the peroneal tendons. Complete detachment of osteochondral lesion. The passive navigation concept is potentially applicable to many MR-guided interventions, and it may be an alternative to other navigation methods. Osteochondral lesions (OCL) of the talus are defined as any damage involving both articular cartilage and subchondral bone of the talar dome. Clinical management of these lesions is based on whether or not the fragments are attached. In addition, early stages of osteochondral lesions cannot be reliably depicted with fluoroscopy. [ 11 , 12 , 9 ] The shortcomings of CT are applied radiation, especially in pediatric patients, and lack of cartilage visualization. The articular cartilage imaging group of the International Cartilage Repair Society has issued detailed recommendations with r… After drilling guide alignment, drilling was performed in a 45° ± 10 orientation to the main magnetic field with an MR-compatible drilling machine and a 3.4-mm titanium alloy spiral drill bit. It is often used synonymously with osteochondral injury/defect and in the pediatric population. After predetermination of a plane in which drilling is planned (access point and aiming point are visible), switching between different planes is not compulsory. Mechanically, an osteochondral injury is prod… Figure 4: Schematic drawing (left) and coronal interactive intermediate-weighted fast SE MR image (right) show the fourth step of the navigation procedure: drilling with interactive MR guidance while holding the adjusted drilling guide. The institutional review board approved the use of cadaveric specimens, and informed consent was obtained from all volunteers. Crossref, Medline, Google Scholar; 7 Kumai T, Takakura Y, Higashiyama I, Tamai S. Arthroscopic drilling for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus. We drilled 16 holes in four ankle joints toward the talar dome. Bookmarks (0) Musculoskeletal. This is an unstable lesion with level of instability related to extent of cartilage fracture 5. The ankle joints were fixed in a retaining jig and positioned so that the lateral ankle was at the top, simulating a lateral patient position. Background: Osteochondral lesions of the talus are relatively uncommon but may be a cause of significant pain and disability in symptomatic patients. (e) Saw-cut specimen and (f) histologic section stained with Movat pentachrome show the 4.5-mm artificial osteochondral lesion (*) and drilling canal (**). Hintermann, B, Regazzoni, P, Lampert, C, Stutz, G, Gächter, A. Ackermann, J, Fraser, EJ, Murawski, CD, Desai, P, Vig, K, Kennedy, JG. (The main part of the device is made of acrylic glass, while the locking bolts, marker tubules, and drilling capsule are made of polyethylene.) (e) Saw-cut specimen and (f) histologic section stained with Movat pentachrome show the 4.5-mm artificial osteochondral lesion (*) and drilling canal (**). They are most commonly seen in male athletes who are aged between 12 and 15 years, a time when the capitellar epiphysis is almost completely fused. The tubule marker, which indicates the artificial osteochondral lesion, and the cylinder-shaped marker, which indicates the lateral process, are in line. Differentiability of anatomic structures is best in d. Figure 5c: MR images acquired with (a) T1-weighted gradient-recalled echo (T1w GRE),(b) T1-weighted fast SE (T1w FSE),(c) T2-weighted fast SE (T2w FSE), and (d) intermediate-weighted fast SE (Iw FSE) sequences. Although confusion remains between the terms osteochondral injury and osteochondritis dissecans, it is really the etiology of the process that is in question. Use of this interactive MR-assisted navigation method in combination with a passive aiming device allowed precise and rapid retrograde drilling of talar osteochondral lesions. The distance to the osteochondral lesion was measured again. Thus, the drilling direction was oblique from the lateral ankle to the medial ankle. Thus, MOCART assessment seems to have no significant role in the postoperative treatment of asymptomatic patients that underwent AMIC for OLTs. 24, No. (c, d) Photographs show the talus after drilling. Figure 8d: (a) Coronal and (b) paratransverse T2-weighted fast SE (T2w FSE) MR images obtained after interactive drilling. OSTEOCHONDRAL DEFECTS 929-455-2670 LEARN ABOUT OCD WE’RE LEADING THE WAY. The piezoelectric MR drill we used led to only a few intermittent artifacts during image acquisition. With an acquisition rate of 1.6 seconds per image, acceptable near-real-time imaging of the drilling procedure was possible. Use of cadaveric specimens was approved and authorized by the institutional review board of University Hospital Berlin, Charité (Berlin, Germany). 4.11a–c. Fluid extended deep to the fragment, and there was subjacent marrow edema, all seen in Fig. Thus, the drilling direction was oblique, from the lateral to the medial ankle. 4–5 In a … No MOCART score was associated with postoperative patient-reported outcomes (n.s.). Dr Bevilacqua also reviews imaging modalities as well as surgical options available to treat depending on the size. The custom drilling guide consists of adaptable components (Fig 1), which allow adjustment of the drilling guide to different anatomic regions. Lean Library can solve it.

Series shows the case of a 25-years-old man, a sports and physically active patient, with chronic ankle pain, a lateral talus osteochondral lesion (OCL), and chronic ankle instability. Developed by renowned radiologists in each specialty, STATdx provides comprehensive decision support you can rely on - Osteochondral Injury, Shoulder. 6, 18 January 2013 | Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Vol. Osteochondral defect is a broad term that describes the morphological change of a localized gap in the articular cartilage and subchondral bone 5. MRI is also useful in evaluating for plantar fasciitis, ligament tears, tendon tears and tenosynovitis, arthritis, fractures and other causes of ankle pain such as sinus tarsi syndrome, nerve entrapments and osteochondral lesions. Age and defect size showed significant correlations with MOCART 2.0 subscales (P < 0.05). Figure 3: Schematic drawing (left) and coronal interactive intermediate-weighted fast SE MR image (right) show the third step of the navigation procedure: definition of the drilling direction by adjustment of the markers. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1999; 81:1229-1235. Informed consent was obtained from all volunteers included in this study. Fabio A. Casari, Christoph Germann, Lizzy Weigelt, Stephan Wirth, Arnd Viehöfer, and Jakob Ackermann. 1). For MR guidance, the intermediate-weighted fast SE sequence was used in all cadaver experiments. An osteochondral injury involves the separation of a segment of articular cartilage along with its underlying bone. The distance from the articular cartilage to the top of the drilling canal was measured macroscopically on the saw cut with an electronic digital caliper and microscopically on the histologic specimen by the physician and a medical technical assistant. link. In d, the insertion point of drilling at the lateral process of the talus (***) can be seen. In the talus, 96% of lateral lesions and 62% of … The second step was to perform drilling with fluoroscopic guidance (10). Although OLT may be treated nonoperatively, a number of surgical techniques have been described for patients whom surgery is indicated. Diagnosis of Knee Osteochondral Lesions With Ultrasound Imaging Arthrosc Tech. Discussion Osteochondral lesions have been reported in Osteochondral Injury, Shoulder Login failed.

In c, the artificial osteochondral lesion (*) was hit, but the remaining cartilage remained intact. Medline, Google Scholar ObjectiveTo determine the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) MOCART (Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue) 1 and 2.0 scores in the assessment of … Trauma. Drilling was performed as close as possible to the cartilage without perforation. 40, No. However, dorsomedial talar dome lesions are frequently inaccessible with antegrade drilling techniques (13). The artificial osteochondral lesion (arrows) was hit, and the drill bit was left in the middle of the drilling canal. This is an unstable lesion References: J.F. The authors performed and assessed a magnetic resonance (MR)-assisted navigation method for minimally invasive retrograde drilling of talar osteochondral lesions. Furthermore, the ankle joints of five volunteers without osteochondral lesions of the medial talar dome and one volunteer with an osteochondral lesion of the medial talar dome were imaged. ; and manuscript editing, all authors. The email address and/or password entered does not match our records, please check and try again. View or download all the content the society has access to. Because of the contrast weighting of the sequences used, these markers appear as high-signal-intensity areas on MR images. The high incidence of good outcome in our series indicates that the one-step BMDCT could be a valid option for the treatment of this rare type of lesions. 2013 Jun 5. Shoulder and Humerus. To accomplish this objective, a passive MR navigation device was used to evaluate 16 cadaveric ankle joints. The pulse sequence that resulted in both the smallest artifact and the best image quality of anatomic structures was used in the following accuracy tests in the cadaver specimens. Increased awareness of osteochondral injuries, development of cartilage repair techniques, and advances in MRI technology have increased the diagnostic frequency of these lesions. We believed the drilling guide was easy to handle. On conventional radiographs, osteochondral lesions can appear as lucencies in the articular epiphysis. Furthermore, many lesions are located in the posterior part of the talar dome. The fourth step was to perform drilling with the MR-compatible drill while holding the drilling guide in this position (Fig 4, Movie [http://radiology.rsnajnls.org/cgi/content/full/2523081981/DC1]). OCD usually causes pain during and after sports. MR Imaging of Femoral Head Osteochondral Lesions AJR:178, April 2002 975 examination. In three of the 12 drilled specimens in group 2, the feasibility of retrograde spongiosaplasty was tested. To avoid damage to healthy cartilage and malleolar bone by antegrade drilling techniques, some physicians prefer to use a retrograde transtalar technique (8,11). The second step was to adjust the drilling guide at the ankle joint of the cadaveric specimen, simulating a lateral patient position. (c, d) Photographs show the talus after drilling. Figure 8e: (a) Coronal and (b) paratransverse T2-weighted fast SE (T2w FSE) MR images obtained after interactive drilling. The first step is to determine the drilling plane on the basis of initial MR findings. Imaging of osteochondral lesions of the talus. Although osteochondral lesion is not a new diagnosis, our recognition of femoral head osteochondral lesions on MR imaging is likely reflective of the fact that MR imaging is now performed more frequently in patients with a symptomatic hip and normal radiographic findings. View or download all content the institution has subscribed to. 40, No. The smallest artifact of the 3.4-mm titanium spiral drill bit can be seen in d. Bottom: Coronal images of the ankle obtained during interactive drilling. Our method applies a new navigational approach to the cross-sectional modality MR imaging. At each end of the device, holes are incorporated for the marker tubule, drilling capsule, and locking bolts. Top: Interactive drilling of the phantom perpendicular to the main magnetic field. Some society journals require you to create a personal profile, then activate your society account, You are adding the following journals to your email alerts, Did you struggle to get access to this article? Our results indicate that use of the piezoelectric drill in the high-field-strength MR environment is safe (21). The tibia and fibula bones sit above and to the sides of the talus, forming the ankle joint. A 3-mm-diameter cancellous bone cylinder was extracted from the calcaneus with a 3.5-mm-diameter titanium fraise (Invivo). Our proposed method of MR-assisted retrograde drilling represents a modification of already existing retrograde techniques that combine the use of MR imaging as a diagnostic modality and the retrograde drilling technique as a less invasive surgical treatment. Skeletal Differentiability of anatomic structures is best in d. Figure 6: Radiograph (left), intraoperative fluoroscopic image (middle), and coronal interactive intermediate-weighted fast SE MR image (400/8) (right) show an osteochondral lesion (stage II–III according to the Berndt and Harty classification) of the medial talar dome in a 17-year-old boy. Elbow involvement in osteochondritis dissecans is rare.It is defined as a localized fragmentation of bone overlying the capitellum cartilage. In addition, a substantial disadvantage of all antegrade drilling techniques is that the hyaline cartilage must be drilled, and therefore damaged. The physician and a medical technical assistant macroscopically and microscopically measured the accuracy of drilling to the artificial osteochondral lesion. Osteochondral Lesions … 2015 Sep 14;4(5):e429-33. When an osteochondral lesion of the talus is included in the differential diagnosis, radiographic examination should include weight-bearing anteroposterior, lateral, and mortise views of the ankle joint 10. ICRS members have access to this journal as part of their membership. The marker solution in this marker tubule does not have contact with the titanium drill, and therefore prevents MR signal loss caused by the drilling screws during intervention. As the drill can be fully seen in one imaging plane during the drilling procedure, a second plane is not usually required. The main C-shaped component measures 21 cm in length and 12 cm in width. cartilage injury with associated subchondral fracture but without detachment; thin sclerotic margin Figure 5a: MR images acquired with (a) T1-weighted gradient-recalled echo (T1w GRE),(b) T1-weighted fast SE (T1w FSE),(c) T2-weighted fast SE (T2w FSE), and (d) intermediate-weighted fast SE (Iw FSE) sequences. 95(11):1045-54. . The cadaver models were obtained by amputating the lower third of the lower leg: Eight specimens were obtained from the left ankle, and eight were obtained from the right. Initially, T1-weighted gradient-recalled echo and T1-, T2-, and intermediate-weighted fast spin-echo (SE) sequences (Table) were assessed with respect to their potential for use in drilling with MR guidance (hereafter, MR-guided drilling) in an open 1.0-T MR imager (Panorama HFO; Philips Healthcare) with a 21-cm-diameter surface coil. Previous investigators have had differing viewpoints regarding the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as opposed to computed tomography (CT) following negative findings on … Please check you selected the correct society from the list and entered the user name and password you use to log in to your society website. Additional secondary criteria are employed for a juvenile OCD lesion … The 3.4-mm titanium spiral drill bit is exactly aligned with the tubule marker (C), which can be filled with water or a gadolinium chelate. The tibia and fibula bones sit above and to the sides of the talus, forming the ankle joint. (e) Saw-cut specimen and (f) histologic section stained with Movat pentachrome show the 4.5-mm artificial osteochondral lesion (*) and drilling canal (**). Because the pulse sequence is a fast SE sequence, artifacts were minimal despite a 90° orientation to the main magnetic field (Fig 5): The mean size of the artifact with an (a) interactive T1-weighted fast field-echo sequence was 13.16 mm ± 0.2 (standard deviation); (b) interactive T1-weighted fast SE sequence, 7.52 mm ± 0.3; (c) interactive T2-weighted fast SE sequence, 9.22 mm ± 0.3; and (d) interactive intermediate-weighted fast SE sequence, 5.62 mm ± 0.2. We thank Silke Kappler for processing the histologic specimens and Corinna Naujok for creating the drawings. Purpose: To evaluate the cross-sectional imaging features of osteochondral defects (OCDs) of the glenoid fossa and to elicit a more detailed analysis of the trauma, if any, that may cause this injury.
