A 33-year-old female ballet instructor presented with persistent forefoot pain limiting her dance activities. Radiographic imaging revealed joint space narrowing and suspected subchondral bone abnormalities in the affected region. Intraoperatively an osteochondral lesion containing a sufficient rim of healthy cartilage was identified. 6mm S-Core® bone prep was performed, including controlled resection of surface bone and stimulation of the underlying subchondral layer. Next, an acellular dermal graft was custom cut to match the defect site. The matrix was securely affixed to the implant platform and inserted to the proper depth, approximately flush with or slightly below the level of intact cartilage. Through careful Xray & MRI evaluation and application of the S-Core® implant, this case demonstrated the potential for regenerative treatments to restore normal joint mechanics. Proper execution of established protocols gave reason for optimism regarding post-operative recovery and return to full activity levels over a short time without recurring symptoms. The successful outcome continues to support the benefits of this surgical approach.
