Systematic review of bone marrow stimulation for osteochondral lesion of talus - evaluation for level and quality of clinical studies

Abstract: AIMTo clarify the quality of the studies indicating lesion size and/or containment as prognostic indicators of bone marrow stimulation (BMS) for osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT).METHODSTwo reviewers searched the PubMed/MEDLINE and EMBASE databases using specific terms on March 2015 in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Predetermined variables were extracted for all the included studies. Level of evidence (LOE) was determined using previously… Show more

“…1,26,69,85 This was demonstrated by the scores given for methodological quality according to the MINORS criteria (Appendix Table A3). These findings are in accordance with those of prior systematic reviews 10,45,95,97 and underline the clear need for more high-quality randomized studies. Future research should be more focused on conducting randomized comparative clinical trials with extensive follow-up times and uniformity in methodology and outcome assessments.…”

“…Another systematic review BMS/MFX demonstrated once more the rather disappointing scientific situation. Yasui et al 85 analyzed 22 articles, but 21 of 22 had a low level of evidence of III and IV, just one was level II. In this level II study comparing chondroplasty versus MFX and versus OAT, they did not find any differences using different scores.…”

“…9 A wide variety of surgical treatment options exist, including bone marrow stimulation (BMS) therapies, retrograde drilling, fixation, matrix-assisted BMS, cartilage implantation, osteo(chondral) autograft transplantation therapies, osteo(chondral) allograft transplantation therapies, and metal implants. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In small lesions (defect size < 10 mm in any of the dimensions), fixation and BMS are the primary treatment options. 9 For larger lesions, retrograde drilling and osteo(chondral) transplantation therapies are more often used.…”
