Fresh Femoral Head Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Treating Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Femoral Head
The use of fresh-stored osteochondral allograft allows surgeons to both avoid donor-site morbidity and treat lesions of a larger surface area as a treatment options for the management of osteochondritis dissecans.

Graft Transfer Technique in Arthroscopic Posterior Glenoid Reconstruction with Distal Tibia Allograft
Posterior glenoid augmentation is a technically demanding procedure that requires strict surgical indication. Although both iliac crest and distal tibia allograft have been shown to restore glenohumeral contact pressures, the authors prefer distal tibia allograft because of its congruity to the articular surface, lack of graft harvest morbidity, and retained cartilaginous surface for articulation with the native humeral head in a patient cohort that is at risk for progressive osteoarthritic development.
Read moreViable Osteochondral Allograft for the Treatment of a Full Thickness Cartilage Defect of the Patella
Osteochondral allografts are used to fill deeper bone defects where the thin osseous layer of cryopreserved OCA implants are not sufficient for these deeper lesions.

The advantages of using the described OCA technique is that it allows chondral defects to be immediately filled with mature articular cartilage, it avoids the donor-site morbidity, and histologic analysis of OCA has shown high survivorship of the transplanted hyaline cartilage.

There was not a significant difference in clinical outcomes between the two groups suggesting that condyle-specific matching may not be necessary.

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.

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).

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.
