Abstract
The institutional review board approved the use of cadaveric specimens, and informed consent was obtained from all volunteers. The authors performed and assessed a magnetic resonance (MR)-assisted navigation method for minimally invasive retrograde drilling of talar osteochondral lesions. For this method, a single imaging plane is sufficient for navigation during intervention. To accomplish this objective, a passive MR navigation device was used to evaluate 16 cadaveric ankle joints. Use of this interactive MR-assisted navigation method in combination with a passive aiming device allowed precise and rapid retrograde drilling of talar osteochondral lesions.Entities:
