The Efficacy of Microfracture Combined with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy for Treating Osteochondral Lesion of the Talus and the Quality of Regenerated Cartilage: A Retrospective Cohort Study and MRI Assessment

Background: osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) is a common disease in the physically active population, and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment. We hypothesized that microfracture (MF) combined with ESWT may have great potential to become a novel combination trea...
