Background:
Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) are a common pathology seen in the foot and ankle in athletes and are often associated with sports-related injuries. When conservative treatments fail, operative treatment can provide pain relief. For larger lesions, hemitalus allograft transplantation has demonstrated good results.
Indications:
The purpose of this video is to educate surgeons on the indications and surgical technique of the hemitalus allograft transplantation for OLTs. This video describes a clinical case for which this technique was used.
Technique Description:
This video provides an overview of the hemitalus allograft transplantation technique for recurrent, large OLTs.
Results:
Hemitalus allograft transplantation can be an effective surgical option in patients with large OLTs with good prospective results and improvements in patient outcome scores.
Discussion/Conclusion:
Hemitalus allograft transplantation is a safe and effective treatment in patients with large osteochondral lesions of the talus.
