“…Studies were grouped according to surgical indications into ten categories: musculoskeletal tumours ( n = 16) [10–25], chronic ankle instability ( n = 15) [26–40], ankle arthritis ( n = 14) [41–54], osteochondral lesions of the talus ( n = 12) [55–66], Achilles tendon defects ( n = 11) [67–77], other tendon defects ( n = 9) [78–86], fusions ( n = 9) [87–95], fractures ( n = 8) [96–103], hallux rigidus ( n = 3) [104–106] and other indications ( n = 10) [107–116].…”

Purpose The purpose of this review is to systematically analyse current literature on the use of allografts in the surgical treatment of foot and ankle disorders in adult patients. Based on this study, we propose evidence‐based recommendations. Methods The database for PubMed was searched for all published articles. No timeframe restrictions were applied. Clinical studies eligible for inclusion met the following criteria: performed on patients over 18 years old; subject to surgical treatment of foot and ankle disorders; with report on the outcome of the use of allografts; with a report and assessment of pain and function, or equivalent; minimum follow‐up of 1 year was required. Two reviewers independently screened and selected studies for full‐text analysis from title and abstract. 107 studies were included from 1113 records. Studies were grouped according to surgical indications into ten categories: musculoskeletal tumours (n = 16), chronic ankle instability (n = 15), ankle arthritis (n = 14), osteochondral lesions of the talus (n = 12), Achilles tendon defects (n = 11), other tendon defects (n = 9), fusions (n = 9), fractures (n = 8), hallux rigidus (n = 3) and other indications (n = 10). Results Most studies displayed evidence level of IV (n = 57) and V (n = 39). There was one level I, one level II and nine level III studies. Most studies reported allografting as a good option (n = 99; 92.5%). Overall complication rate was 17% (n = 202). Conclusions Fair evidence (Grade B) was found in favour of the use of allografts in lateral ankle ligament reconstruction or treatment of intra‐articular calcaneal fracture. Fair evidence (Grade B) was found against the use of allogeneic MSCs in tibiotalar fusions. Level of evidence V.

“…The authors reported results at 12 months, with the patient reporting "pain improvement" but still experiencing intermittent pain at "8 level." 1 Symptomatic nonunion of the talonavicular joint after arthrodesis is a difficult clinical problem, and management of a failed revision even more difficult. Definitive management of talonavicular joint nonunion after arthrodesis include double (talonavicular and calcaneocuboid) or triple arthrodesis.…”

“…Has been described the use of Graft Jacket (Wright Medical, Arlington, TN) as an interpositional allograft in combination with external fixation in ankle diastasis [31] and bovine collagen as a xenograft for the same purpose [26]. Recently, promising results have been reported in three cases using a cadaveric Achilles tendon allograft as a spacer for interposition arthroplasty of the ankle [2]. Kim described the use of fascia lata or fat as interposition tissue in 22 cases of subtalar arthritis following calcaneal fracture, with more than 90 % of good and excellent results [25].…”

Several techniques have been proposed to restore the compromised function of a joint. These include the arthroplasty by placing various tissues or materials between the articular surfaces. An important contribution to the diffusion of arthroplasty techniques was made by Vittorio Putti, head of the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute in Bologna from 1912 to 1940. Interposition arthroplasty is still used for some non-weight-bearing joints, such as wrist and elbow, and gives good results. This type of surgery has been further developed by the improvement in biomaterials, biomechanical studies and the regenerative medicine. This paper describes the development starting from a historical survey particularly focused on Putti's contribution and ending with the state of the art of regenerative medicine in the treatment of joint diseases. Level of evidence V.
