Concomitant Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy Decreases Odds of Revision Patellofemoral Cartilage Restorative or Palliative Surgery After Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation for Patellofemoral Cartilage Disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To utilize a large nationwide database to evaluate the need for revision patellofemoral cartilage restorative or palliative surgery after an index cartilage restoration procedure with and without concomitant tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) for patellofemoral cartilage injury.

Methods

The PearlDiver Mariner Database was queried for all patients who underwent osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA), osteochondral autograft transfer (OAT), or autologous cartilage implantation (ACI) or chondroplasty of the patellofemoral joint between 2016 and 2021 using laterality-specific International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision and Current Procedural Terminology codes. The 5-year revision patellofemoral cartilage restorative or palliative surgery was evaluated vi
