Osteochondral Allografts
Distal Tibia
Distal Tibia (DTA) can be used alone or in conjunction with a Talus to restore cartilage surface in the ankle. As the leader in osteochondral allografts (OCA) and innovation, 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.
Allograft Highlights
- Glenoid reconstruction with a fresh DTA offers an alternative surgical option that could restore biomechanics and biology
- Fresh distal tibia allograft reconstruction (in the shoulder) results in a clinically stable joint with excellent outcomes in reducing the rate of dislocation and improving pain and function
- Glenoid reconstruction with a distal tibia does not require a size match
- Eliminates morbidity associated with Laterjet
- It is a dense cortico-cancellous weight bearing bone
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
