Clinical efficacy of gel-based platelet-rich plasma combined with arthroscopic microfracture surgery in the treatment of osteochondral injuries of the talus
Objective To investigate the early clinical effect of gel-based platelet-rich plasma(PRP)combined with arthroscopic microfracture surgery(AMS)in managing osteochondral injuries of the talus(OLT).Methods A total of 45 patients with post-traumatic OLT admitted to Wuxi Ninth People's Hospital from Feb.2020 to Feb.2022 were prospectively selected,including 28 males and 17 females aged 18-43(mean 28.0)years.The course of injuries was 17-32(mean 23.0)months.All the patients received AMS and according to the random num-ber table,22 cases were injected with sodium hyaluronate(2 mL once a week for 6 weeks postoperatively,SH joint group)and 23 were injected with PRP(3 mL once a week for 6 weeks postoperatively,PRP joint group).The de-gree of bone marrow edema(BME),VAS,ankle range of motion(ROM),and American Association of Foot and An-kle Surgery(AOFAS)scores before and 6 months after treatment were recorded,as well as complications.Results At 6 months after treatment,compared with the SH joint group,the PRP joint group showed much smaller BME at the subchondral bone(cm3,0.37±0.11 vs.0.46±0.15)and VAS(2.0±0.6 vs.3.1±1.0,both P<0.05);much lar-ger metatarsal flexion ROM(25.49°±3.72° vs.22.88°±2.83°)and dorsiflexion ROM(15.43°±2.54° vs.13.57°±2.03°,both P<0.05);much higher AOFAS scores of pain(34.7±5.6 vs.29.7±5.9),function(39.8±7.4 vs.32.1±4.4),alignment(7.7±1.6 vs.6.0±1.5)and total scores(87.2±4.8 vs.80.6±5.1,all P<0.05);and much lower scores by Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue(35.4±8.2 vs.42.3±9.5,P<0.05).Moreover,the good-to-excellent rate of the ankle joint function was much higher in the PRP joint group(87.0%,20/23 vs.54.5%,12/22,P<0.05),and the incidence of complications was much lower(8.7%,2/23 vs.36.4%,8/22,P<0.05).Conclusion For patients with OLT,gel-based PRP joint with AMS can improve the foot and ankle joint function,relieve BME and pain,increase ankle ROM,and reduce complications.
