Arthroscopic Debridement vs Bone Marrow Stimulation for Small Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus: A Retrospective Matched Study of Outcomes for Lesions <60 mm
Arthroscopic debridement and bone marrow stimulation showed similar improvements in clinical scores for small osteochondral lesions of the talus (<60 mm<sup>2</sup>). For larger lesions (>60 mm<sup>2</sup>), AD outcomes were worse; given the single-center, retrospective design and modest sample size, this data-derived cutoff is exploratory and requires external validation.
