Article Abstract
Objective: To explore clinical efficacy of platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection combined with extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in treating osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT) with typeⅡa.
Methods: From January 2022 to June 2022, 45 patients with typeⅡa OLT were treated with PRP arthroscopic injection combined with ESWT, including 29 males and 16 females; aged from 18 to 63 years old with an average of(37.7±10.3) years old;the courses of disease ranged from 6 to 20 with an average of (13.3±4.8) months. American Foot and Ankle Association ankle and foot (AOFAS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS), cartilage injury volume and bone marrow edema volume were evaluated for ankle joint function and osteochondral recovery of talus before treatment, 3 and 6 months after treatment.
Results: All patients were followed for at least 6 months. No related complications occurred in all patients. AOFAS score were increased from(68.3±3.6) before treatment to (83.7±3.2) and (90.8±2.2) at 3 and 6 months after treatment, respectively (<0.05). VAS decreased from (5.2±1.2) before treatment to (3.2±0.8) and (1.9±1.2) at 3 and 6 months after treatment (<0.05). The injury volume of cartilage and subchondral bone decreased from (71.0±42.5) mm before treatment to (50.6±31.5) mm and (36.5±27.3) mm at 3 and 6 months after treatment (<0.05). The bone marrow edema volume decreased from (1 182.7±675.1) mm before treatment to (656.1±455.1) mm and (382.1±485.6) mm at 3 and 6 months after treatment (<0.05).
Conclusion: PRP intraarticular injection combined with ESWT for the treatment of typeⅡa OLT could alleviate clinical symptoms, effectively improve joint function, and promote cartilage repair and bone marrow edema absorption.

This study aims to investigate the effect of reflection at the soft tissue-bone interface on shock wave propagation within soft tissue using finite element methods. Results showed that reflection caused obvious differences in the propagation process and attenuation characteristics of shock waves. The energy flux density (EFD) at the same target was proportional to the impact pressure.

Multidimensional modulation of the bone marrow niche represents a pivotal therapeutic strategy for bone-related disorders. However, its clinical translation remains challenging due to the inherent limitations imposed by the bone physiological barrier. Herein, a bone cavity-targeted nanocomposite (ZCD) is developed that can respond to extracorporeal shock wave (ESW), enabling triaxial regulation by inhibiting adipogenic differentiation, promoting osteogenic differentiation, and suppressing osteoclast activity.

Introduction: Achieving stone-free status (SFS) is a key goal of endourological treatment, yet definitions of SFS and clinically insignificant residual fragments (CIRF) remain controversial. While CIRF is frequently defined as residual fragments ≤4 mm, there is no consensus on its clinical significance regarding complications and re-intervention needs. We evaluate the risk of complications and the need for re-intervention associated with the presence of CIRF following endourological treatment for urolithiasis.

Background: Accurate complication reporting in endourology remains challenging, with the Clavien-Dindo Classification and Comprehensive Complication Index being the most commonly used systems. This study aimed to compare surgical outcomes and complication reporting in ureterolithotripsy (URL), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) using both systems.
Methods: This prospective, single-center, non-interventional study included 473 patients undergoing URL, PCNL, or ESWL from October 2022 to October 2024.
