Fresh OCA’s - An Introduction for Surgeons
This is a wonderful video by Paul Caldwell, MD., for inexperienced or new surgeons on how to order and schedule cases for fresh osteochondral allografts.
The OCA Ordering Process
Dr. Caldwell goes into detail about placing orders for fresh osteochondral allografts, discussing the critical factors involved in sourcing the highest quality grafts.
Downsizing 16mm to 12mm Precut Cores
This video demonstrates the technique for downsizing a 16 mm precut osteochondral allograft to a 12 mm core, which can then be trimmed to the appropriate length.
Joint Preservation & Cartilage Restorations
Rachel M. Frank, MD., discusses solutions for joint preservation and cartilage restoration in the knee, from small focal lesions to larger, uncontained defects.
Bilateral Trochlear OCA Transplantation Using 16 mm Precut Cores
Tracye J. Lawyer, MD PhD, outlines a case where several surgical pearls are shared and discusses the patient’s successful outcome and return to an active lifestyle.
Treatment of a Medial Femoral Condyle Osteochondral Defect Using an Osteochondral Allograft
Tracye J. Lawyer, MD PhD, demonstrates the allograft OATS® technique for treatment of a medial femoral condyle osteochondral defect.

Did you know that JRF Ortho offers the largest portfolio of presutured tendons, featuring over half a dozen high-quality options to meet the needs of various surgical procedures?
Each product page provides detailed information about the allograft, including product sheets, surgical techniques, and relevant clinical papers.
Why is cartilage so important? It serves as a crucial option for patients, offering solutions for those with cartilage damage or degeneration seeking effective treatment options.
Tendon Graft Processing Techniques – “Kaiser Paper”
This paper examines the association of graft processing techniques concluding that the BioClense technique was associated with higher risk of revision.
Structural Integrity & Safety of Sterile Tendons
JRF Ortho has no confirmed incidence of disease transmission and continues to deliver safe, high quality allografts and its ultra low-dose (.95-1.4 Mrad) irradiation has minimal impact on the biomechanical integrity of the tissue.
Does Irradiation Affect the Clinical Outcome?
Patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with irradiated allograft BPTB had similar clinical outcomes compared to those reconstructed with autograft BPTB.
Biomechanical Properties Similar Between E-Beam and Aseptic
The biomechanical properties of tendon allografts sterilized with use of an e-beam at a dose range of 17.1 to 21.0 kGy were not different from those of aseptic, nonsterilized controls or gamma-irradiated allografts.
All licenses, FDA Registration, AATB Accreditation, IFUs, etc.
