Arthroscopic Osteochondral Autograft Transfer System Procedure of the Lateral Femoral Condyle with Donor-Site Backfill Using Osteochondral Allograft Plug.

ABSTRACT: The osteochondral autograft transfer system (OATS) procedure is at the forefront of cartilage restoration surgeries of the knee, offering superior return to sport rates and long-term functionality. This technique reports an arthroscopic OATS procedure of the lateral femoral condyle with donor-site backfill using an osteochondral allograft plug. Potential complications from unfilled donor site sockets are eliminated through donor site backfill with an allograft plug.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Treatment of Medial Femoral Condyle Defect.

Project description:Chondral lesions of the knee can affect the young, active population, thereby causing severe morbidity and a large economic burden. Although numerous approaches have been described in the literature, restoration of hyaline cartilage has yet to be shown. Specifically, larger, full-thickness cartilage defects remain a challenge. This Technical Note details our technique for biologic unicompartmental osteochondral allograft transplantation for the treatment of large femoral condyle articular cartilage defects.

Osteochondral Autograft Transfer Procedure: Arthroscopic Technique and Technical Pearls.

Project description:The Osteochondral Autograft Transfer System (OATS; Arthrex, Naples, FL) is an excellent option for the treatment of articular cartilage lesions within the knee. Current literature suggests that at early-term to midterm follow-up, patients experience improved function, alleviation of pain, and good satisfaction with acceptable complication rates. Although long-term data are lacking, studies in athletes have shown that the OATS can provide an adequate rate of return to sports. The OATS procedure has traditionally been considered an open procedure. However, with the advancement of arthroscopic techniques, the procedure can now be completed arthroscopically. We discuss this modern operation.

Revision Lateral Femoral Condyle Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation With the Snowman Technique After Failed Previous Oblong Osteochondral Allograft.

Project description:Osteochondral allograft transplantation provides components of both cartilage and subchondral bone and can be used in large and multifocal defects where autologous procedures are limited by donor-site morbidity. Osteochondral allograft transplantation is particularly appealing in the management of failed cartilage repair, as larger defects and subchondral bone involvement are often present, and the use of multiple overlapping plugs might be considered. The described technique provides our preoperative workup and reproducible surgical approach for patients who have undergone previous osteochondral transplantation with graft failure and are young, active patients who would not be otherwise suited for a knee arthroplasty procedure.

Fresh Femoral Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation Using a Single-Plug Technique for Large Osteochondral Defects of the Knee

Project description:Osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation has been used to treat a wide spectrum of cartilage deficiencies in the knee, including spontaneous necrosis of the knee. Studies reporting outcomes after OCA transplantation have shown reliable improvement in pain and return to activities of daily living. We describe a single-plug, press-fit technique for OCA transplantation with concomitant high tibial osteotomy to treat femoral condyle chondral defects in a varus knee. Pearls and pitfalls of this technique are presented; attention should be paid to correction of concomitant joint pathology and malalignment to facilitate osseointegration and survivorship of the allograft plug into host bone. Appropriate surgical timing and prompt allograft implantation help to maximize chondrocyte viability.

Fresh Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Uncontained, Elongated Osteochondritis Dissecans Lesions of the Medial Femoral Condyle.

Project description:Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions of the knee are a significant source of pain and disability. Although the pathologic process for this condition remains poorly understood, histologic studies suggest vascular insufficiency of the subchondral bone may be the underlying cause for focal necrosis and subsequent compromise of the overlying articular cartilage. These lesions most commonly affect the medial femoral condyle and can be found along the margins of the intercondylar notch. Because of significant bone involvement, osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation has emerged as a dominant treatment option for OCD lesions because it can accurately restore the entire osteochondral unit. Given the characteristic location and large, irregular shapes of these lesions, surgical management can be challenging. These lesions are often uncontained along the periphery of the condyle, which can compromise OCA graft fixation and healing. We describe our preferred technique for the treatment of large, uncontained OCD lesions of the medial femoral condyle using a unicompartmental OCA augmented with screw fixation.

Arthroscopic Technique for Treating Patella and Femoral Condyle Lesions With DeNovo Natural Tissue Allograft.

Project description:Use of juvenile particulate cartilage allograft has been previously described for the treatment of full-thickness chondral lesions of the knee. Although this procedure has traditionally been performed with an open approach, it can be performed using arthroscopic techniques with the potential for less morbidity and accelerated rehabilitation. This article describes an all-arthroscopic technique for treating patella and femoral condyle lesions with DeNovo Natural Tissue allograft, including clinical indications and a rehabilitation protocol.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation Of Posterior Femoral Condyle Lesions Utilizing An Open Posterior Approach To The Knee.

Project description:Osteochondral allograft transplantation is a viable option for large chondral defects >2 cm squared, as well as in a revision setting after failure of a previous surface chondral restoration procedure. Osteochondral lesions involving the posterior aspect of the femoral condyle, however, are less common and easily underappreciated. Treatment of posterior osteochondral lesions is more technically demanding because they cannot be adequately addressed through standard arthroscopic approaches or an anterior arthrotomy. The challenges of the posterior approach include the relative unfamiliarity for many surgeons and the inherent risks due to the proximity of the neurovascular structures. The following technique reviews relevant anatomy and approach to osteochondral allograft transplant involving the posterior femoral condyles.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation of the Medial Femoral Condyle With Orthobiologic Augmentation and Graft-Recipient Microfracture Preparation.

Project description:Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) has been recognized for over 100 years yet still poses treatment challenges owing to both the avascular nature of articular cartilage and the inability to generate hyaline cartilage. The knee is most commonly involved, and without repair, patients have chronic knee pain, loose bodies, and early-onset osteoarthritis. There are a number of surgical techniques for repairing OCD, some of which are still being refined. Currently, common procedures used to treat OCD lesions include microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation, osteochondral autograft transplantation, and osteochondral allograft transplantation. In this Technical Note, we describe osteochondral allograft transplantation with the addition of platelet-rich plasma and graft-recipient microfracture. We believe the micropores augment the osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties of the allograft and aid in the incorporation of the allograft plug by improving angiogenesis, enhancing clot formation in the allograft, and providing a homogeneous environment for remodeling.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation of the Lateral Femoral Condyle and Distal Femoral Osteotomy in the Setting of Failed Osteochondritis Dissecans Fixation.

Project description:Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a pathologic condition, most commonly affecting the knee joint in adolescents and young adults, although pathology can also be found at the elbow and ankle. Lesions to the medial femoral condyle are classically associated with varus alignment, while lesions to the lateral femoral condyle are seen in patients with valgus malalignment. Common risk factors for failed fixation of OCD lesions include unstable lesions to the lateral femoral condyle, screw breakage, older age, and closed physes. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the preoperative planning and step-by-step surgical approach for treatment of failed fixation of an OCD lesion of the posterior aspect of the lateral femoral condyle in young, active patients using an osteochondral allograft, a lateral opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy to correct malalignment, and a tibial tubercle osteotomy to facilitate access to the lesion.

Maturation of the equine medial femoral condyle osteochondral unit

Project description:Summary Objective The juvenile equine medial femoral condyle (MFC) is frequently affected with radiographic changes (sclerosis and subchondral lucencies) that arise at a similar site to juvenile osteochondritis dissecans (JOCD) in children. There is little information on maturation of the MFC. To describe the normal development of the equine MFC osteochondral unit from birth to 2 years. Methods Micro CT, histology and immunohistochemistry were performed on healthy equine MFCs (n = 29) at sites where lesions occur. Parameters assessed included: cartilage thickness; the epiphyseal growth plate cartilage organization; the osteochondral junction and progression of endochondral ossification. Results From 0 to 6 months, chondrocytes near the articular surface are small and flat and have a characteristic hypertrophic appearance near the osteochondral junction but are not arranged in columns like physeal growth plates. The osteochondral junction is also crossed by cartilage canals containing vessels giving a porous appearance on 3D μCT images. At 7 months of age, a subchondral bone plate compact structure emerged histologically coincident with the end of endochondral ossification (absence of type X collagen immunostain and chondrocyte hypertrophy). Conclusion New information is provided on MFC osteochondral unit maturation that will improve our understanding of the development of juvenile equine orthopaedic disease. Equine MFC endochondral ossification is complete at 6 months of age. The immature osteochondral junction may be structurally fragile because of its microarchitecture and susceptible to focal traumatic events that induce developmental lesions.
