Long-term Survival Analysis of Meniscus Allograft Transplantation with Bone Fixation
The purpose of this paper is to nvestigate the long-term survival rate of meniscal allograft transplantations (MAT) with bone fixation. MAT using a bone fixation technique demonstrated a high clinical survival rate over long-term follow-up.

Despite the high incidence of reoperation and failure, carefully selected patients can experience substantially improved function as a result of fresh OCA transplantation in the talus.
Read moreFresh Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Fractures of the Knee
The purpose of this paper is to determine functional outcomes and osteochondral allograft (OCA) survivorship in patients that received an OCA transplantation as a salvage treatment for knee fracture. Although the reoperation rate is high, treating osteochondral lesions associated with knee fractures with an OCA can be a successful salvage treatment option.
Read moreEffectiveness of Lavage Techniques in Removing Immunogenic Elements from Osteochondral Allografts
The purpose of the paper is to compare the current standard saline lavage technique to a combination saline and high-pressure carbon dioxide lavage to determine their ability to remove marrow elements from osteochondral allografts (OCA).

Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation of the Knee: Analysis of Failures at 5 Years
Despite a relatively high reoperation rate, the overall allograft survival rate suggests that reoperation itself does not necessarily indicate a failure.
Read moreFresh Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation For Osteochondritis Dissecans Of The Capitellum
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum is a rare yet debilitating injury seen in young athletes. This is the first report in the literature describing fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation (FOCAT) to treat OCD of the capitellum.
Read moreWhich Are the Most Reliable Methods of Predicting the Meniscal Size for Transplantation?
This study sought to determine the most reliable techniques for measuring meniscal length and width for patients that need an allograft transplantation.

This paper examines the degree of surface congruency between the talar dome and humeral head.
Read moreLong-term Outcomes After Osteochondral Allograft: A Systematic Review at Long-term Follow-up
To (1) evaluate long-term outcomes of osteochondral allograft (OCA) with regard to clinical outcome scores, reoperation and failure rates, and (2) examine if certain factors predispose patients to worse outcomes.

High Failure Rate of a Decellularized Osteochondral Allograft for the Treatment of Cartilage Lesions
With a 72% failure rate within the first two years of implantation at two institutions, the Chondrofix implant does not exhibit similar outcomes to fresh osteochondral allografts.

This paper evaluates the osteochondral allograft (OCA) clinical outcomes and survivorship in the femoral trochlea.
Read moreMeniscal Allograft Transplantation in the Adolescent Population
Traditionally, meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has been thought to be contraindicated in skeletally immature patients. This reports the results of MAT performed in an active adolescent population with a minimum of 2-year follow-up.
Read moreProper Cartilage Status for Meniscal Allograft Transplantation Cannot Be Accurately Determined
Mild or tolerable symptoms did not always mean that the articular cartilage was well preserved; more observation should be undergone to determine possible chondral damage pre-operatively.

Fresh OCA Transplantation for Treatment of Unstable Osteochondritis Dissecans of Capitellum in Elbow
This article describes an OCA transplantation technique for the treatment of OCD of the humeral capitellum and report mid-term follow-up results.

Prevalence of Associated Lesions in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
To determine if there is a correlation between time to ACL reconstruction and the prevalence of meniscal tears or cartilage injuries present at surgery. Also, to identify the optimum timing of ACL surgery to decrease the risk of developing any additional injuries.
Read moreRisk Factors for Revision Following Primary Allograft ACLR
After adjusting for patient age, gender, and body mass index, they found that the BioCleanse® technique—which sterilizes tissue through oscillating positive and negative pressure in the presence of detergents and sterilants—and irradiation with more than 1.8 Mrad were associated with a higher risk of revision after 1 year, compared to the other graft processing methods.
