Article Abstract
Focal chondral lesions are a common cause of chronic wrist pain, with no ideal treatment. The authors developed arthroscopic transplantation of osteochondral autograft from lateral femoral condyle to distal radius with satisfactory outcome in 4 consecutive patients between December 2006 and December 2010. In all cases, graft incorporation was completed by 3 months to 4 months postoperation. All patients showed improvement in wrist function with no pain at follow-up at an average of 70.5 months (range 24-116 months). Second-look arthroscopy in 3 patients confirmed the preservation of normal articular cartilage. Patient satisfaction was high with no complications.

Elbow Arthroscopy for Treatment of Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Capitellum.

Background: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the elbow is an idiopathic lesion of subchondral bone resulting in delamination and sequestration with or without articular cartilage involvement; for patients with persistent symptoms, surgical treatment is often recommended. While traditionally performed in the supine or prone position, arthroscopic debridement and microfracture of OCD of the capitellum in the lateral decubitus position permits strategic arm positioning and placement of portals to optimize visualization and reduce the risk of damage to neurovascular structures.
Indications: Arthroscopic debridement and microfracture in the context of OCD is utilized when conservative management with rest, physical therapy, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs does not provide improvement in pain.
Arthroscopic Osteochondral Autograft Transplantation (OAT) in Patients with Focal Osteochondral/Chondral Lesions of the Knee Mid-Term Clinical Outcome.

Department of Sport Injury Centre, Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, India.
Introduction: Articular cartilage has limited healing potential as it is a hypocellular and avascular structure, hence it is to manage articular cartilage defects. The arthroscopic osteochondral autograft transplantation procedure is minimally invasive and cosmetically acceptable procedure to manage cartilage defects.
Materials And Methods: This is a prospective study extending from 2018 to 2023 done at Sports Injury Center, New Delhi involving 36 patients with focal full-thickness chondral/osteochondral defect, age <45 were included.
Autologous Osteoperiosteal Transplantation Versus Autologous Osteochondral Transplantation for Large Cystic Osteochondral Lesions of the Medial Talus: 2-Year Results From a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

Department of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital, Institute of Sports Medicine of Peking University, Beijing, China.
Background: Both autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOCT) and autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation (AOPT) are available for large cystic osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs). However, there is a lack of valid prospective evidence directly comparing the efficacy between AOPT and AOCT.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of AOPT versus AOCT in patients with large cystic OLTs (>8 mm in cystic diameter) at 2 years of follow-up.
Is Bone Mineral Density at the Tendon-Bone Interface After ACL Reconstruction Associated With Graft Maturation? A Quantitative Computed Tomography Analysis.

Department of Orthopedics, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Background: The revision rate due to postoperative instability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remains at 4% to 25%. The physiological mechanisms of tendon-bone healing involve intricate processes, particularly neovascularization and osseointegration at the bone tunnel interface. Currently, no standardized noninvasive method exists to comprehensively evaluate tendon-bone healing progression.

Aim: To develop and operationally define 'performance metrics' that characterize a reference approach to robotic multiport right hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision (CME) and intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) and to obtain evidence supporting face and content validity through a consensus meeting.
Method: Three expert colorectal surgeons with advanced minimally invasive surgical experience, a senior behavioural scientist and a colorectal surgeon with experience in performance metrics development formed the Metrics Group. Published guidelines, clinical evidence, training materials and unedited videos of robotic multiport right hemicolectomy were used to deconstruct the task-robotic right hemicolectomy with CME and ICA-into defined, observable performance units or metrics (i.
