ReviewBone defect classifications in revision total knee arthroplasty, their reliability and utility: a systematic review.
There are various classification systems described in the literature for managing bone defects in revision knee arthroplasty (RTKA). We analysed the reliability and usefulness of these classification systems. ⋯ None of the available classification systems is reliably established in determining the bone loss and treatment plans in RTKA. Among all, AORI classification is the most widely used system in clinical practice. The reliability of AORI Classification is fair for femoral bone loss and substantial for tibial bone loss.

Meta AnalysisEfficacy and safety of autologous chondrocyte implantation for osteochondral defects of the talus: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Studies have reported various effects of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) on osteochondral defects of the talus. Therefore, to assess the effectiveness of ACI for osteochondral defects of the talus, we used the meta-analytic approach. ⋯ This study revealed that the use of ACI could provide a relatively high success rate and improve the AOFAS score for patients with osteochondral defects of the talus, which should be recommended in clinical practice.
