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.
Read moreThis 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 morePatients undergoing lateral meniscal allograft transplantation demonstrated greater pain relief and functional improvement than patients undergoing medial meniscal allograft transplantations.
Read moreAt 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 moreFresh 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 moreThis 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 moreThe purpose of this paper is to nvestigate the long-term survival rate of meniscal allograft transplantations (MAT) with bone fixation. MAT using a bone fixation technique demonstrated a high clinical survival rate over long-term follow-up.
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.
Read moreDespite 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 study sought to determine the most reliable techniques for measuring meniscal length and width for patients that need an allograft transplantation.
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 moreWith a 72% failure rate within the first two years of implantation at two institutions, the Chondrofix implant does not exhibit similar outcomes to fresh osteochondral allografts.
Read moreThis paper evaluates the osteochondral allograft (OCA) clinical outcomes and survivorship in the femoral trochlea.
Read moreTraditionally, meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has been thought to be contraindicated in skeletally immature patients. This reports the results of MAT performed in an active adolescent population with a minimum of 2-year follow-up.
