Core Tip	This systematic review demonstrated that scaffold-based therapy for lesions of the talus (OLT) may produce favorable clinical outcomes. However, 96% of included studies were classified into the category of poor level of evidence and no papers were of good methodological quality. Therefore, careful attention should be paid when evaluating scaffold-based therapy for OLT. In addition, large variability and underreporting of clinical data between studies made it difficult to reliably compare the results. Further well-designed studies are necessary to determine the effectiveness of scaffold-based therapy for OLT, especially when compared to the available traditional treatments.
