The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiological outcome of TruFit plugs. We retrospectively reviewed 10 patients who underwent treatment for a symptomatic chondral/osteochondral lesion using one or more Trufit Plugs. Full incorporation of the bony portion of the plug occurred in only 3 and partial incorporation in 7 lesions. The remaining portion of these 7 lesions looked cystic on MRI. The significance of this cystic change is not clear. Though all 10 patients showed some improvement on the IKDC scoring system but the amount of the improvement was small.
本研究的目的是评估TruFit软骨塞的功能和影像学结果。我们回顾性分析了10例使用一个或多个TruFit软骨塞治疗有症状的软骨/骨软骨损伤的患者。仅3个损伤的软骨塞骨部分完全融合,7个损伤部分融合。这7个损伤的其余部分在MRI上呈囊性。这种囊性改变的意义尚不清楚。尽管所有10例患者在IKDC评分系统上均有一定改善,但改善程度较小。
