ALLOGRAFTS

Osteochondral Allografts

Distal Tibia

Distal Tibia can be used alone or in conjunction with a Talus to restore cartilage surface in the ankle.

Additionally, as the leader in osteochondral allografts (OCA), JRF Ortho works with surgeons to advance the treatment of bone and cartilage defects.  Dr Matthew Provencher, in conjunction with JRF Ortho, pioneered the use of distal tibia osteochondral allograft to repair glenoid bone loss and achieve restoration of the glenoid arc with solid bone and smooth cartilage.

Studies show that osteochondral allografts transplanted with viable chondrocytes have significant functional and clinical advantages.

Distal Tibia

Features and Benefits

  • Use of Distal Tibia is an Option for Shoulder Instability
  • DTA used for the restoration of glenoid arc with cartilage
  • Contains live cartilage - studies show that osteochondral allografts transplanted with viable chondrocytes have significant functional and clinical advantages
  • Laboratory work has shown a nearly identical radius of curvature between the glenoid and a DTA throughout the full range of motion
  • Reconstruction of anterior glenoid with a DTA may lower peak contact forces and improve biomechanics compared with the Latarjet procedure
  • Packaging is clearly labeled with expiration date and storage instructions
  • OCA Handling & Preparation Instructions
