Abstract

Needle arthroscopy has enjoyed a tremendous growth concerning the quality of intraoperative images due to technical innovation, resulting in innovative possibilities concerning concomitant minimally invasive procedures and treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). These lesions have increasingly been receiving scientific attention in the orthopaedic (sports) medicine field, and, as such, the quality of evidence-based treatment for them has developed substantially. Treatment of OLTs—and specifically subchondroplasty. OLTs may also be suitable for needle arthroscopic interventions. The purpose of the present technical note is, therefore, to present an all-arthroscopic needle arthroscopic technique, including subchondroplasty with adipose-derived stem cells augmentation for osteochondral lesions of the talus.
