Abstract：Objective To evaluate the efficiency of arthroscopic microfracture and autologous osteochondral transplantation in the treatment of osteochondral lesion of the talus. Methods Totally 80 cases of talar osteochondral injury from Jan.2013 to Apr.2015 were selected.Forty cases in group A were treated with ankle arthroscopy and 40 cases in group B were treated with autologous osteochondral transplantation.Their clinical data was analyzed retrospectively.The ankle function, VAS scores and clinical effect were compared between the two groups.Results VAS and AOFAS score in the two groups were significantly improved compared with preoperatively (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the scores of VAS and AOFAS between the 2 groups (P<0.05).The excellent rate of group B at the end of treatment was 97.5%, which was significantly higher than group A (80.0%), P<0.05.No complication occurred.Conclusion Arthroscopy and autologous osteochondral transplantation for treatment of talar cartilage injury has good curative effect, can improve patients' foot function and relieve their pain with high safety.The treatment of autologous osteochondral transplantation is more efficient.
