Autologous osteochondral transplantation provides succesful recovery in patients with simultaneous medial and lateral talus osteochondral lesions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the success of simultaneous medial and lateral autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) in patients with both medial and lateral osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) who could not be treated with bone marrow stimulation techniques or whose previous treatments failed.
methodsFive patients who underwent medial and lateral talus AOT in the same session due to simultaneous OLT on medial and lateral talar dome were included in this retrospective study. All the patients were male, and the mean age was 34.8 (range = 26 - 42) years. Double osteochondral grafts were placed separately to the medial and lateral talar dome at the same session. Location and size of the OLT, additional ligament injuries, and postoperative evaluation of the graft were evaluated through magnetic resonance images (MRIs). The criteria of Berndt and Harty, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score (AOFAS), visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and Tegner Activity Score were assessed preoperatively and at the last follow-up.
resultsAll patients had suffered an injury with inversion of the foot while daily or sports activity. Average duration of symptoms from onset to osteochondral grafting was 25.2 months. The mean follow-up time was 61 months. The radiological evaluation showed OLT with Stage 4 or 5, anterior talofibular ligament injury and deltoid ligament strain observed in all of the patients. With the numbers available, pre and post-operative comparisons showed a significant increase in patients' satisfaction rate and significant decrease in VAS scores as well as an increase in AOFAS scores with the numbers available. No complications were encountered.
conclusionSimultaneous AOT for medial and lateral OLT appears to be a reliable surgical procedure with satisfactory clinical results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, Therapeutic Study.
