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 moreThis paper explores the technique for anatomical glenoid reconstruction using a fresh osteochondral distal tibia allograft after a failed Latarjet procedure.
Read moreDespite 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 moreThe 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 moreThe 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 moreThe purpose is to show that the talus allograft is a potential allograft for treatment of an engaging reverse Hill-Sachs lesion.

Despite a relatively high reoperation rate, the overall allograft survival rate suggests that reoperation itself does not necessarily indicate a failure.
Read moreOsteochondritis 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 moreThis paper examines the degree of surface congruency between the talar dome and humeral head.
Read moreTo (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.
Read moreThis paper evaluates the osteochondral allograft (OCA) clinical outcomes and survivorship in the femoral trochlea.
Read moreThis article describes an OCA transplantation technique for the treatment of OCD of the humeral capitellum and report mid-term follow-up results.
Read moreThe osteochondral allograft transplantation surgery technique for treatment of instability resulting from trochlear dysplasia with patellofemoral chondromalacia allows patients to have a stable, pain-free knee joint and participate in activities compared to nonoperative management.

To test the efficacy of using osteochondral autografts and allografts in the femoral head of canines as a translational model for humans.
Read moreThe purpose is to perform a literature review to determine which surgical interventions allow athletes to return to their pre-injury level of competition.
Read moreTo validate OCAMRISS for clinical use through the assessment of interobserver variability and to also determine which radiological features show correlation with clinical outcome.
Read moreOsteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation is typically utilized as a salvage procedure after other more conservative methods have failed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate OCA transplantation outcomes when the procedure is used as a primary treatment method for cartilage injuries in the knee.
