Treatment of Malalignment and Cartilage Injury: High Tibial Osteotomy With a Concomitant Osteochondral Allograft to the Medial Femoral Condyle and Lateral and Medial Partial Meniscectomy.

ABSTRACT: In patients with full-thickness focal cartilage defects, osteochondral allograft is a technique for restoration of hyaline cartilage; however, in patients with genu varum, the diseased compartment of the knee is generally offloaded as well. A high tibial osteotomy presents a biomechanical solution to malalignment of the knee and offloading of the diseased compartment of the knee. The purpose of this Technical Note is to present our preferred technique to treat focal cartilage damage in a varus misaligned knee coupling a high tibial osteotomy with an osteochondral allograft to the medial femoral condyle, along with partial medial and lateral meniscectomy.

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.

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.

Patient-Specific Instrumentation for Medial Closing Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy With Patellar Osteochondral Allograft.

Project description:The primary indications for performing a medial closing wedge distal femoral osteotomy are valgus knee malalignment, lateral knee compartment overload, lateral meniscus insufficiency, and/or lateral compartment osteoarthritis or cartilage damage. Without correction of this malalignment, there is an increased risk for chondral damage in the lateral and patellofemoral compartment of the knee. The optimal candidates for this procedure are young, active individuals with moderate to severe arthritis in the lateral compartment. Recently, preoperative planning for high tibial and distal femoral osteotomies (HTOs and DFOs) using 3-dimensional (3D) patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) has increased in popularity. Successful patient outcomes have been reported using this technique. This Technical Note illustrates our preferred technique that uses 3D PSI in addition to a patellar OCA transplant when treating a symptomatic cartilage lesion associated with genu valgum.

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.

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.

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.

Multiple Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation with Concomitant Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy for Multifocal Chondral Disease of the Knee.

Project description:Symptomatic patellofemoral chondral lesions are a challenging clinical entity, as these defects may result from persistent lateral patellar maltracking or repetitive microtrauma. Anteromedializing tibial tubercle osteotomy has been shown to be an effective strategy for primary and adjunctive treatment of focal or diffuse patellofemoral disease to improve the biomechanical loading environment. Similarly, osteochondral allograft transplantation has proven efficacy in physiologically young, high-demand patients with condylar or patellofemoral lesions, particularly without early arthritic progression. The authors present the surgical management of a young athlete with symptomatic tricompartmental focal chondral defects with fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation and anteromedializing tibial tubercle osteotomy.

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.

Multicompartmental Osteochondral Allografts of Knee and Concomitant High Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:Chondral lesions of the knee can occur secondary to limb malalignment. To address these interrelated problems, a high tibial osteotomy with concomitant osteochondral allograft transfer may be performed. It is important to address these chondral lesions as they often affect the young and active population and cause morbidity in an otherwise healthy population. Although numerous approaches for the treatment of chondral lesions have been described, long-term results demonstrating regeneration of hyaline cartilage have yet to be reported. Furthermore, larger, full-thickness cartilage defects, which can be caused by limb malalignment, have proven to be particularly challenging to treat. This Technical Note details our technique for multicompartmental osteochondral allograft transplantation with concomitant high tibial osteotomy in a patient with 2 focal cartilage lesions in the knee.
