운동 선수에서 진행된 슬관절 외측 골관절염에 대한 치료로 시행한 신연 관절 성형술 및 외측 반월 연골판 이식술: 증례 보고

초록

The knee function of young and active patients with advanced osteoarthritis is unavoidably reduced and they are trapped in “treatment gap” without surgical treatment. In recent years, distraction arthroplasty (DA) has emerged as a viable alternative in the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis in young and active patients to delay knee arthroplasty. However, outcomes after DA are very rare in young and active patients. We present a case of a 36-year-old man (a professional skier) who had lateral meniscus deficiency and severe joint space narrowing. He underwent DA plus lateral meniscal allograft transplantation combined with cartilage repair. The patient showed excellent result 9 years postoperatively with return to high level of sport activity.
