Article Abstract
: Chondral and osteochondral lesions can lead to osteoarthritis if untreated, making accurate assessment of cartilage repair outcomes essential for optimizing treatment strategies. The objective of this study was to compare MOCART and MOCART 2.0 and to evaluate the clinical utility of both across different surgical cartilage repair techniques and various time points. : This study included 111 patients (age: 35 ± 10, 35% female) who underwent cartilage repair surgery of the knee between September 2015 and March 2022. A total of 188 postoperative magnetic resonance images were evaluated using MOCART and MOCART 2.0. The correlations between both scores, as well as to the change in Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), were determined. : MOCART 2.0 scores (66 ± 13) were significantly higher than MOCART scores (58 ± 13, < 0.001). Positive correlation was observed between scoring systems (r = 0.837, < 0.001). There was no significant correlation between MOCART or MOCART 2.0 scores and the change in PROMs. Noticeably, there was a statistically significant correlation between both MOCART and MOCART 2.0 in the AutoCart subgroup across multiple timepoints for the change in PROMs. : Based on radiographic-clinical outcome discordance, clinicians should not rely solely on MOCART or MOCART 2.0 scores when evaluating cartilage repair success but instead prioritize patient-reported functional improvements while using imaging as a complementary assessment tool.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Asan Medical Center, College of Medicine, University of Ulsan, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Autologous osteochondral transfer (AOT) is preferred because of its ability to replace defective cartilage with hyaline cartilage. However, longitudinal changes in hyaline cartilage after AOT and their correlation with clinical outcomes remain unclear.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the short- to midterm outcomes of AOT and to investigate the correlation between clinical outcomes and the morphologic and qualitative findings of cartilage.

Objectives: To analyze the feasibility, effectiveness and safety of autologous costochondral transplantation (ACT) in patients with Hepple V osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT), and to analyze the short-to-intermediate-term efficacy.
Methods: Clinical data of 27 patients (27 ankles) with Hepple V OLT admitted in Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital between February 2020 and February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, of which were treated with ACT. The general information, operation time, and hospitalization days of the patients were recorded.
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.

Background: Bone marrow stimulation (BMS) is the most commonly performed surgery for osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT), but there is a risk of poor outcome when cysts recur. The indications of BMS in the presence of cystic OLT remain controversial.
Purpose: To investigate whether a new "jumping dot (JD) sign," manifesting as speckle-like areas of elevated signals surrounding the subchondral bone cyst (SBC) on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) against the background of bone marrow edema (BME), could be a predictor of clinical outcome and recurrence of SBCs following BMS and to further propose a more precise indication regarding BMS surgery for cystic OLT.

ObjectivesCartilage repair (CR) surgery and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) are common joint procedures, particularly in younger patients. However, the impact of prior or concurrent ACL-R on the outcomes of CR remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate whether ACL-R affects the structural quality and clinical outcomes of CR tissue.
