Osteochondral Allografts

Osteochondral allografts (OCA) allow surgeons to transplant mature hyaline cartilage with viable chondrocytes and subchondral bone in an intact unit.

Meniscus

Meniscal allograft transplantation is an innovative surgical technique designed to improve both the biomechanics and the level of function for daily activities.

Tendons

JRF Ortho provides surgeons with a comprehensive selection of tendons for ligament reconstruction, enabling the restoration of joint stability and function.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplant to the Medial Femoral Condyle Using a Lateral Condyle

steochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation effectively treats medial femoral condyle (MFC) defects but is limited by graft shortages, with lateral femoral condyles (LFCs) potentially serving as an alternative source.

Osteochondral Allograft Chondrocyte Viability Is Affected During Harvest by Irrigation Temperature and Reamer Speed

Purpose: To assess how different drilling speeds and irrigation temperatures impact chondrocyte viability during osteochondral allograft harvest.

Summary:

To understand the effect of drilling, reaming, and irrigation temperature on chondrocyte viability during OCA allograft plug harvest.
Reaming and drilling with cold saline (5°C) maintained chondrocyte viability and protected against heat induced death associated with OCA harvest, irrespective of drill speed.

JRF Takeaways: Irrigation with 5°C saline can protect chondrocyte viability during plug harvest. With viability being one of the most important factors in OCA success, JRF is committed to providing the freshest OCAs available within an expiration window of 28 days.
