JRF Ortho offers Precut Fresh OCA Cores for the treatment of full thickness osteochondral lesions. The OCA cores are produced using the same cartilage processing method as all OCA grafts and have viable hyaline cartilage for a superior biomechanical and durable repair.
Features a mature, viable hyaline cartilage matrix combined with bone, ensuring superior biomechanical strength and durability.
Eliminates the need for patient-specific size matching.
Shown to retain 80%* absolute cartilage viability.

OATS® is a registered trademark of Arthrex, Inc. Disposal set ordered separately through Arthrex, Inc.Both precut cores and size matched condylar allografts are excellent options for treating chondral and osteochondral lesions. This study suggests the noninferiority of fresh precut OCA cores when compared to size matched condylar/patellar OCAs.
As OCA transplantation has emerged as a popular option for the treatment of cartilage defects, standard techniques for graft matching rely on pairing donor-recipient size. However, this can be mitigated by using OCA cores for small lesions.
OCA transplantation with a thin plug graft technique is a valuable procedure for the treatment of femoral condyle osteochondral lesions, resulting in significant improvement in clinical scores, high patient satisfaction, and low reoperation and clinical failure rates.
Riley J. Williams III, MD, (New York, NY) provides a cadaveric demonstration of a cartilage restoration procedure using 16 mm precut osteochondral allograft (OCA) cores.
Available in 10mm, 12mm, and 16mm diameter sizes, our OCA Cores offer complete replacement with viable, intact osteochondral allograft, eliminating donor site morbidity.
