title: [Arthroscopic abrasion arthroplasty of the upper ankle joint. Long-term results in osteochondrosis dissecans].
abstract: From January 1984 to June 1987, a total of 27 patients received arthroscopic treatment to the ankle to remove cartilage fragments and curet the osteochondral bed, and control arthroscopy was possible after 4 months in 4 cases. Particular attention is paid in this report to 11 patients with a total of 13 lesions of the talar dome (stage III/IV according to Brandt/Harty), with discussion of the etiology, the treatment and the long-term postoperative results. On follow-up at 2 years, the results were assessed both subjectively and objectively as good in 7 and fair in 4 of these patients. The advantages of arthroscopic treatment over open surgery and arthrotomy are less severe traumatism, a lower complication rate and faster rehabilitation.
