Assessing the Stability of Talar Defect Repairs: Does Shape Matter? Audio Poster

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video summary is about a study conducted by Mark Farn, a specialist lower limb orthopaedic surgeon in the UK, and colleagues from the University of Leeds. The study aimed to assess the stability of tailored dome defect repairs for osteochondral defects. They compared the stability of circular and square-shaped repairs on mid-sized lesions using cadaveric specimens. The testing involved running pendulum friction simulation tests to mimic normal walking. The results showed that circular repairs were more stable and less subject to displacement compared to square repairs. The study suggests that the shape of the repair affects its stability, with circular constructs being optimal. The project was supported by joint operations and completed as part of a supported PhD research project.
