“…It has been reported that [21], CAI with cartilage injury can promote the release of in ammatory factors, in which TNF-α has a certain inhibitory effect on the formation of chondrocytes, thus aggravating cartilage tissue injury. MMP-3 exists widely in human cartilage, and the higher its level is, the more serious the lesion of cartilage tissue is, and TIMP-1 can degrade interstitial collagen [22][23].…”

Aim To estimate the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in the therapy of Chronic Ankle Instabiliy (CAI) in young adults. Methods 80 sufferers with CAI with cartilage injury (from March 2018 to March 2021) enrolled to our hospital were differentiated into two groups at random (n = 40/group). The arthroscopic group and the PRP with arthroscopic group were handled with ankle arthroscopy and PRP injection combined with ankle arthroscopy respectively. The ankle dorsal extension, metatarsal flexion range of motion and pain, ankle function and balance ability were contrasted among the two groups before and 6 months after therapy. The levels of serum indexes were contrasted among the two groups pre-therapy and post-therapy. Results 6 months after therapy, the ankle dorsal extension, metatarsal flexion activity, visual analog score (VAS), American orthopedic foot, ankle society (AOFAS) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores were boosted in two groups, and versus the arthroscopic group, the ankle dorsal extension, metatarsal flexion motion and AOFAS, BBS scores were enhanced and VAS scores were lessened in the PRP with arthroscopic group. The contents of MMP-3, TIMP-1 and TNF- α were boosted in both groups, and versus the arthroscopic group, the contents of MMP-3, TIMP-1 and TNF-α were memorably lessened in the PRP with arthroscopic group. Conclusion The application of PRP injection combined with ankle arthroscopic surgery in the therapy of young CAI sufferers merged with cartilage injury is helpful to relieve ankle pain and improve ankle function.

Background We have classified ankle arthrodesis when using an external fixator into four types based on the deformity and defect. Each of the four types of technique have been evaluated retrospectively. Materials and methods Thirty-three lower limb segments in 30 patients (average age 49 years) were treated by ankle arthrodesis using an external fixator in our institution. We classified the pre-treatment problems into four types and adjusted the surgical treatment accordingly: type I—no bone defect, no or mild deformity; type II—no bone defect, severe deformity; type III—bone defect with the possibility to shorten acutely after resection of the pathological focus; and type IV—bone defect but without the ability to shorten acutely after resection of the pathological focus. Type I problems were treated with curettage of ankle cartilage and bone graft with external fixation. Type II problems were treated with mobilisation using an external fixation after performing a type I ankle arthrodesis. Type III problems were treated with ankle arthrodesis using acute shortening and distraction. Type IV problems were treated with ankle arthrodesis using bone transport. Results All patients had secure ankle fusion and were able to bear total weight in walking on completion of treatment. The mean external fixation period was 96 days in type I, 181 days in type II, 231 days with lengthening in type III and IV. The complications included re-fracture in three cases, deformity at the lengthening site in one, delayed union in one, and infection at fusion site in one. Conclusion We have strategized ankle arthrodesis procedures using an external fixator into four groups in order to align the surgical technique with the pre-treatment problem. Our classification can help decide the appropriate operative method when using an external fixator, especially for difficult cases. How to cite this article Matsubara H, Watanabe K, Takata M, et al.
