Osteochondral Allografts
Femoral Condyle
As the gold standard for cartilage restoration, osteochondral allografts (OCA) allow surgeons to transplant structurally intact, mature, viable, hyaline cartilage matrix with bone for superior biomechanical and durable repair. Proprietary processing methods are shown to maintain 80% absolute cartilage viability.
Allograft Highlights
- Single stage procedures with no donor site morbidity.
- Commonly used with OATS or shell techniques.
- Mostly used to restore cartilage in the knee.
- Used to treat focal cartilage defects.
Features and Benefits
- After processing, the grafts are refrigerated in JRF Ortho's unique nutrient media with antibiotic that has been shown to maintain cartilage viability during refrigerated storage
- Femoral condyles used for: BioUni® OATS® technique, contralateral procedures, snowman technique
- Detailed dissection sheets for each individual allograft
- Studies show that osteochondral allografts transplanted with high chondrocyte viability have significant functional and clinical outcomes
- Comprehensive inspection criteria to detect allograft imperfections, tissue and cartilage quality
- For large cartilage defects, hemi-condyle allografts can be radiographically size-matched to the individual patient
- Smaller cartilage defects do not usually require a size match
- Packaging is clearly labeled with expiration date and storage instructions
