Statistically different increasing tensile strength was seen as graft diameter increased. Significant variability exists in the strength of multi-stranded hamstring allografts within the diameter range of 6 to 9 mm that often falls well below the commonly accepted value of 4,000 N for a hamstring graft.
Read moreOsteophytes can be observed on the tibial plateau during meniscus allograft transplantation.
Read moreThe aim of this study was to conduct an updated review of the literature regarding the clinical and basic science knowledge on osteochondral allograft transplantation in the knee for the treatment of large defects.
Read moreAllograft tendons are commonly used in surgical ligament reconstruction. While it is commonly accepted that donor age will affect mechanical properties of graft tissue, the apparent age threshold is unknown.
Read moreOsteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation is an effective treatment for defects in the medial femoral condyle (MFC), but the procedure is limited by a shortage of grafts. Lateral femoral condyles (LFCs) differ in geometry from MFCs but may be a suitable graft source. The difference between articular surface locations of the knee can be evaluated with micro–computed tomography imaging and 3-dimensional image analysis.
Read moreReconstruction with fresh distal tibial allograft (DTA) is an alternative option, with the theoretical advantages of restoring the glenoid articular surface, improving joint congruity, and providing the biological restoration of articular cartilage loss.
Read moreTibiotalar arthritis in the young, active patient is a debilitating condition with limited treatment options where bipolar tibiotalar fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation was conceived as a possible option.

For defects with a large diameter, large cystic component, or heavily involving the shoulder of the talus, an allograft provides an excellent option.

Glenoid resurfacing with a meniscal allograft in conjunction with arthroplasty provided significant improvement in shoulder function and pain relief in this cohort of patients with glenohumeral arthritis under fifty-five.
Read moreThe purpose is whether a metatarsal allograft can be used for a giant bone tumor.
Read moreThe transplantation of fresh osteochondral allograft is a viable and effective method for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus as evidenced by improvements in pain and function.
