Incidence of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus in the United States Military

Abstract

The incidence of OCLTs in the active duty military population was higher with female gender, white race, enlisted rank, increased age, and Army or Marine service.

The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Autologous Osteochondral Transplantation

“…The left column shows the PRP-treated specimen, and the right column shows the control specimen; the images are magnified 20·. Discussion O steochondral lesions occur in frequently injured articulating joints, such as the knee and ankle 33,34 . Autologous osteochondral transplantation is a surgical treatment with promising clinical outcomes in the treatment of large or cystic osteochondral lesions at the short and medium-term followup 7,35-37 .…”

Incidence and Risk Factors for Chronic Anterior Knee Pain

“…The DMED has been used reliably to quantify incidence and risk factors for various orthopedic conditions. [19][20][21][22][23] The findings have also been shown to translate to a civilian population. 19,20,24,25 We hypothesize that older females in a branch of service with greater physical demands would be predisposed to developing chronic anterior knee pain, in part due to the cumulative occupational demands on the patellofemoral joint.…”

“…Previous publications have thoroughly detailed methodology associated with the use of the DMED. 19,20,23,25 Unadjusted incidence rates (IR) were calculated for risk factors including age, sex, race, military rank, and branch of military service. Age categories were defined as follows: <20, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, and !40 years.…”

Recent Methods of Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions (Osteochondritis Dessicans) of the Talus (Literature Review)

“…Hintermann с соавторами обнаружил наличие ОХПТК в 73% у пациентов с переломами в области голеностопного сустава [3]. Так же в литературе встречаются ретроспективные работы по выявлению ОХПТК у солдат, данное исследования продолжалось в течение 10 лет и обнаружило наличие этого повреждения в 27 случаях на 100000 человек [4]. С развитием МРТ и КТ появилась возможность определения повреждений подобного характера, даже самого небольшого размера.…”
