A 66-year-old woman presented to the hospital with cutaneous necrosis of her right ankle and foot. Her symptoms began immediately after an intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid for ankle osteoarthritis, which was performed 6 days before. Histopathology showed an intra-vascular hyaluronic acid embolus. The initial treatment approach was conservative, but the patient’s clinical state degraded. She was thus treated with sub-cutaneous hyaluronidase, the enzyme that degrades hyaluronic acid, which yielded a moderate improvement even though it was administered 22 days after the initial hyaluronic acid injection. Although hyaluronic acid embolism and subsequent cutaneous necrosis are well-known complications of dermal fillers, there are few reported cases of embolism following intra-articular injection. To our knowledge, this is the first time hyaluronidase has been used in this setting.

Abstract Purpose The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic bone marrow stimulation (BMS) for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) at long-term follow-up. Methods A literature search was conducted from the earliest record until March 2021 to identify studies published using the PubMed, EMBASE (Ovid), and Cochrane Library databases. Clinical studies reporting on arthroscopic BMS for OLTs at a minimum of 8-year follow-up were included. The review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. Two authors independently conducted the article selection and conducted the quality assessment using the Methodological index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS). The primary outcome was defined as clinical outcomes consisting of pain scores and patient-reported outcome measures. Secondary outcomes concerned the return to sport rate, reoperation rate, complication rate, and the rate of progression of degenerative changes within the tibiotalar joint as a measure of ankle osteoarthritis. Associated 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated based on the primary and secondary outcome measures. Results Six studies with a total of 323 ankles (310 patients) were included at a mean pooled follow-up of 13.0 (9.5–13.9) years. The mean MINORS score of the included studies was 7.7 out of 16 points (range 6–9), indicating a low to moderate quality. The mean postoperative pooled American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was 83.8 (95% CI 83.6–84.1). 78% (95% CI 69.5–86.8) participated in sports (at any level) at final follow-up. Return to preinjury level of sports was not reported. Reoperations were performed in 6.9% (95% CI 4.1–9.7) of ankles and complications related to the BMS procedure were observed in 2% (95% CI 0.4–3.0) of ankles. Progression of degenerative changes was observed in 28% (95% CI 22.3–33.2) of ankles. Conclusion Long-term clinical outcomes following arthroscopic BMS can be considered satisfactory even though one in three patients show progression of degenerative changes from a radiological perspective. These findings indicate that OLTs treated with BMS may be at risk of progressing towards end-stage ankle osteoarthritis over time in light of the incremental cartilage damage cascade. The findings of this study can aid clinicians and patients with the shared decision-making process when considering the long-term outcomes of BMS. Level of evidence Level IV.

Beck Disease

Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic degenerative osteoarthritis. Death of cartilage and growth plate is the pathologic feature; therefore, KBD involves skeletal deformity and often results in osteoarthritis. Deficiency of selenium, high humic acid levels in water, and fungi on storage gains are considered the cause of KBD. The most frequently involved joints are ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows and symptoms are pain and limited motions of those joints. The main treatments for KBD are rehabilitation and osteotomy to correct the deformities because preventive treatment has not been established. In this report, we present a case of ankle osteoarthritis due to KBD and first describe arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis for treating osteoarthritis of KBD.

Category: Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: There are few reports describing conservative therapy for ankle osteoarthritis. Hiflex Foot Gear (HFG) is a custom-made polyethylene ankle–foot orthosis developed to permit slight mobility of the ankle while providing adequate ankle support. The purpose of this study was to validate the hypothesis that HFG improves the quality of life (QOL) in patients with ankle osteoarthritis.Subjects and methods. Methods: Ten ankles from eight patients (one man, seven women) diagnosed with ankle osteoarthritis at this hospital, prescribed an HFG, and observed for follow-up for at least 3 months were included in this study. The patients’ mean age was 69.9 (range: 46?85) years. Patients were classified as Takakura–Tanaka stage IIIa (2 ankles), stage IIIb (2 ankles), stage IV (6 ankles), with a mean observation period of 8.9 (range: 3?13) months. Clinical evaluations were made before and 3 months after wearing the orthosis. The ankle/hindfoot scale of the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot (JSSF) Standard Rating System and the Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire (SAFE-Q) subscale of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association/Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot, respectively, were used for making evaluations. Scores were compared using a paired t-test. Results: JSSF scores improved from 55.1 points at baseline to 71.4 points after wearing the HFG (p < 0.001). According to the SAFE-Q subscales, changes after wearing the HFG were as follows: 28.9 to 61.9 points for items related to pain (p < 0.001), 36.9 to 53.7 points for those related to physical function and daily life (p = 0.001), 31.3 to 58.9 points for those related to social functions (p = 0.002), and from 31.3 to 65.0 points for those related to overall perception of health (p < 0.001); items related to shoes showed no substantial change (from 52.1 to 53.6 points). Conclusion: Our results revealed that wearing the HFG improved pain in patients with severe ankle osteoarthritis. Retained flexibility in the ankle range of motion was believed to be the factor underlying improvements in physical function and daily life, social functions, and overall perception of health. HFG is a potential option for conservative therapy in patients who cannot obtain sufficient pain control during the preoperative waiting period or in those who do not wish to undergo surgery.

Replacement Design

Recently, the progress in techniques and in projecting new prosthetic designs has allowed increasing indications for total ankle replacement (TAR) as treatment for ankle osteoarthritis. This retrospective work comprehended 39 subjects aged between 47 and 79 years old. The patients, observed for at least 12 months (mean follow up of 18.2 ± 4.1 months), have been evaluated according to clinical and radiological parameters, both pre- and post-operatively. The AOFAS and VAS score significantly improved, respectively, from 46.2 ± 4.8 to 93.9 ± 4.1 and from 7.1 ± 1.1 to 0.7 ± 0.5 (p value < 0.05). At the final evaluation, the mean plantarflexion passed from 12.2° ± 2.3° to 18.1° ± 2.4° (p value < 0.05) and dorsiflexion from a pre-operative mean value of 8.7° ± 4.1° to 21.7° ± 5.4° post-operatively (p value < 0.05). This study found that this new total ankle replacement design is a safe and effective procedure for patients effected by end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. Improvements have been demonstrated in terms of range of motion, radiographic parameters and patient-reported outcomes. However, further studies are needed to assess the long-term performance of these prostheses.

Articular Cartilage Regeneration

Category: Ankle Arthritis; Ankle; Arthroscopy Introduction/Purpose: The effect of supramalleolar osteotomy (SMO) without an additional bone marrow-stimulating procedure (BMSP) on articular cartilage regeneration in ankle joint still remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether SMO yielded favorable clinical and radiologic outcomes, and to evaluate whether the regeneration of articular cartilage could be observed after SMO without BMSP by second-look arthroscopy. Methods: 43 ankles after SMO (mean follow-up: 35.5 months) were retrospectively reviewed. Visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, patient satisfaction were used for functional evaluations. The tibial anterior surface angle (TAS) and tibial lateral surface angle (TLS) were measured on radiographs, and ankle osteoarthritis was classified by Takakura stage. Among the 43 patients, 31 underwent ankle arthroscopy prior to SMO, and second-look arthroscopy was performed at 1-year postoperatively. Tibiotalar cartilage regeneration was evaluated according to the modified Outerbridge classification for the 29 patients who had undergone SMO without BMSP. Results: The mean VAS score and AOFAS score significantly improved from 6.4 preoperatively to 1.4 postoperatively and from 61.1 preoperatively to 88.4 postoperatively, respectively (P < 0.05). Regarding overall postoperative patient satisfaction, 18 (41.8%) patients reported their satisfaction as excellent, 23 (53.5%) as satisfied. The mean TAS and TLS significantly improved from 83.8° and 94.8° preoperatively to 78.4° and 82.2° postoperatively, respectively (P < 0.05). 23 out of 28 preoperative Takakura stage IIIa cases and 3 out of 7 IIIb cases improved to postoperative stage II. On second-look arthroscopy, cartilage regeneration of the medial compartment of the tibiotalar joint was observed in 26 of 29 patients (89.7%), whereas cartilage deterioration was not observed in any patient. Conclusion: Medial tibio-talar articular cartilage regeneration was observed in most cases (89.7%) of medial compartment ankle osteoarthritis after SMO without BMSP, which was confirmed with second-look arthroscopic evaluation. It also showed satisfactory clinical and radiologic outcomes with high patient satisfaction.
