Talus

The Talus allograft can be used alone or in conjunction with a Distal Tibia to restore cartilage surface in the ankle. Many published clinical studies establish the effectiveness of osteochondral Talus allografts for cartilage restoration. Additional uses include reconstruction of Hill-Sachs and Reverse Hill-Sachs defects in the Humeral Head. Alternately, a 10mm Precut Fresh OCA core can be used to repair the Talus.

Studies show that osteochondral allografts transplanted with high chondrocyte viability have significant functional and clinical advantages. JRF Ortho is the largest provider of osteochondral allografts offering viable biologic solutions for a range of challenging joint defects.
