Improved Short-Term Outcomes of Osteochondral Lesions of the Knee Following Arthroscopic Treatment With Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate and Cartilage-Derived Matrix.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the postoperative objective, subjective, and functional outcomes as well as complication rates in osteochondral defect patients treated with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and cartilage-derived matrix (CDM) during knee arthroscopy.

Methods

A retrospective chart review was performed for patients treated arthroscopically with BMAC and CDM between August 2015 and August 2018 and had more than 1-year follow-up. Demographic factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and comorbidities were collected for all patients. Size and location of the osteochondral lesions also were documented.

Results

A total of 14 patients were identified with a mean follow-up of 19 months. On average, patients were 34 years of age (range 16-58 years) and 43% were female.
