Allografts

Allograft Highlights

• Transplantation of fresh talar allograft is a viable and effective method for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus as evidenced by improvements in pain and function
• Engage reverse Hill-Sachs lesion with recurrent glenohumeral instability through use of a fresh talar allograft
• Using talus for humeral head reconstruction appears to be a viable graft, as demonstrated in this anthropometric study for both reconstruction of the glenoid and humeral head when cases of bipolar glenohumeral bone loss are present
• Cartilage viability is required for successful clinical outcomes after transplantation of osteochondral allografts

Features and Benefits

• No donor site morbidity, need for only one surgery, no curvature mismatch 
• Talus allografts are readily available and can be substituted for Humeral Head allografts due to similar radius of curvature 
• Fresh talar transplantation is a reasonable surgical option for osteochondral defects of the talus for young, active patients with massive defects or previously failed operations
• Talus allografts are readily available and are radiographically size matched to the individual patient for partial or complete shell replacement of the talus
• For OATS technique size matching the Talus is not necessary
• Processed in an aseptic environment by highly trained processing technicians
• 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
• Comprehensive inspection criteria to detect allograft imperfections, tissue and cartilage quality
• Detailed dissection sheets for each individual graft provide the surgeon an illustration of any denoted imperfections as well as all recorded measurements
• Packaging is clearly labeled with expiration date and storage instructions
• OCA Handling & Preparation Instructions
