Purpose Scientific evidence for the treatment of osteochondral lesions (OCLs) of the talus is limited. The aim of this study was an evaluation of the clinical outcome after a one-step autologous subchondral cancellous bone graft and autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) in medial OCLs of the talus and the assessment of the repair tissue (RT).Methods Seventeen patients (eight women, nine men; mean age, 38.8 +/- 15.7 years) with an OCL of the medial talus underwent surgery. Clinical and radiological assessment was performed after a mean follow-up of 39.5 +/- 18.4 months, including established scoring systems (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society [AOFAS] Score, Foot Function Index [FFI], visual analogue scale [VAS]), evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue scoring system (MOCART Score) and T2 mapping.Results Preoperative pain (7.8 +/- 2.1) significantly improved to an average of 3.2 +/- 2.4 postoperatively. AOFAS Score averaged 82.6 +/- 13.4, MOCART Score 52.7 +/- 15.9. Mean T2 relaxation time of the RT was 41.6 +/- 6.3 ms and showed no significant differences to the surrounding cartilage (mean, 38.8 +/- 8.5; p = 0.58). MOCART Score significantly correlated with the AOFAS Score (rho = 0.574, p = 0.040). T2 relaxation time of the RT significantly correlated with the MOCART Score (rho = 0.593, p = 0.033).Conclusions The one-step autologous subchondral cancellous bone grafting and AMIC leads to a significant reduction in postoperative pain and satisfying postoperative functional outcome in mid-term follow-up. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment demonstrated a good quality of regenerative tissue similar to the MRI ultrastructure of the surrounding cartilage.
