Osteochondral Allograft and Concurrent Meniscal Allograft Transplantation

Background: Symptomatic, full-thickness chondral defects often are associated with meniscal deficiencies. These difficult problems to manage in the young, high-demand patient population. A number of differing techniques have been published no consensus. While more recent favored minimally invasive approaches, an open approach tubercle osteotomy maximize visualization all knee compartments can still provide favorable outcomes when using a careful technique and postoperative protocol. Indications: Young, patients long-standing deficiency resultant indicated for cartilage restoration preservation procedures. allograft transplantation is symptomatic prior total or subtotal meniscectomy. It important address other concomitant pathology such as instability, alignment, defects. Concomitant procedures performed transplants, including osteochondral larger Technique Description: This surgical video demonstrates tibial gain access both medial lateral tibiofemoral compartments. An arthroscopic-assisted bone slot was transplantation. Appropriately sized plugs were then transplanted onto femoral condyles press fit technique. Results: At 1-year follow-up, presented has regained full motion back activities. Discussion/Conclusion: Full-thickness problem manage. Recent results approaches demonstrated mid- long-term outcomes. In that may preclude approach, promising outcome. Patient Consent Disclosure Statement: The author(s) attests consent obtained from any patient(s) appearing this publication.
