Re: OATs vs DeNovoNT for osteochondral defect in talus 17x8x8mm

JedFSU: I think the radiologist can see the depth on the MRI but either didn't want to guess at the depth or simply forgot to measure it. MRIs tend to show fluid, inflammation, and activity better...

Driver charged with misdemeanor VMS for driving in boot

Re: Osteochondral lesion of the talus - help

I agree with FieryPrincess... the available papers on talus OCD generally suggest allograft/OATS is as effective or more effective than microfracture. And I don't think any pod or OS who follows the...

Re: OCD foot surgery today

My suggestion is for the first 5 days you should elevate for at least 22 hours per day and ice often. Try to get "toes above the nose" using pillows or cushions or recliner chair. If you can't ice...

Re: OCD lesion surgery in two days, please help!

Re: Ankle pain sucks

Re: Ankle pain sucks

I'm glad you found a doctor who figured out what's going on with your ankle. While 12mmx20mm is sort of large for a talus OCD, from what I've read it's definitely not too large for a successful OATS....
