Concomitant Reverse Hill-Sachs Lesion and Posterior Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament
Given the loss of integrity in the subchondral bone that occurs with other techniques as well as the persistent damage to the articular cartilage, many have begun to favor anatomic reconstruction with osteochondral allograft.
Read moreFresh Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Focal Chondral Defect of Humerus Associated with Failed SLAP Repair
OCA transplantation of the humeral head has previously been described for the treatment of Hills-Sachs lesions associated with glenohumeral instability. Promising results have also been reported using this technique for humeral head articular cartilage defects.

Tibial Allograft Transfer for Medial Tibial Plateau Resurfacing
This paper discusses the preparation and the implantation of the medial tibial plateau and medial meniscal allograft. The most important finding of this report is that tibial allograft transplant offers a viable solution in patients with large osteochondral defects in the setting of ligament injuries.
Read moreDistal Tibia Allograft Glenoid Reconstruction in Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability
At an average follow-up of 45 months, fresh DTA reconstruction for recurrent anterior shoulder instability results in a clinically stable joint with excellent clinical outcomes and minimal graft resorption. Optimal allograft placement resulted in superior bony incorporation with the native glenoid.
Read moreDistal Tibia Allograft Glenoid Reconstruction in Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability
Fresh distal tibia allograft reconstruction results in a clinically stable joint with excellent outcomes in reducing the rate of dislocation and improving pain and function.
Read moreReturn to Sport and Recreational Activity After Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation in the Knee
This paper assesses osteochondral allograft (OCA) survivorship in an athletic patient population as well as determine the level of sport patients are able to return to post-operatively. OCA transplantation can be a successful solution for cartilage injuries in athletes as it allows the majority of patients to resume their highly active lifestyles.
Read moreAnatomical Glenoid Reconstruction Using Fresh Osteochondral Distal Tibia Allograft After Failed Latarjet Procedure
This paper explores the technique for anatomical glenoid reconstruction using a fresh osteochondral distal tibia allograft after a failed Latarjet procedure.
Read moreOsteochondral Allograft Transfer for Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus
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).
Read moreAnatomic Humeral Head Reconstruction With Fresh Osteochondral Talus Allograft for Recurrent Glenohumeral Instability With Reverse Hill-Sachs Lesion
The purpose is to show that the talus allograft is a potential allograft for treatment of an engaging reverse Hill-Sachs lesion.

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.

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.
