Treatment of Glenoid Chondral Defect Using Micronized Allogeneic Cartilage Matrix Implantation

Treatment of glenoid chondral defect using micronized allogeneic cartilage matrix implantation.

Focal chondral lesions of the glenohumeral joint, though less common than chondral defects in the knee or ankle, can be a significant source of pain in an active population. For patients in whom nonsurgical management fails, promising results have been reported after arthroscopic microfracture surgery to treat such lesions. However, microfracture leads to growth of fibrocartilage tissue and is ...

Arthroscopic Treatment of Acetabular Chondral Defect Using Bst-Cargel

Chondral Defect Repair with Particulated Juvenile Cartilage Allograft

OBJECTIVE This case study of 4 patients followed for at least 2 years was conducted to evaluate a cartilage repair procedure that involves transplanting particulated juvenile allograft cartilage. DESIGN A multicenter, prospective, single-arm, 25-subject case study was designed to evaluate clinical outcomes such as IKDC and KOOS scores as well as the extent and quality of repair with MRI. In a...

Chondral Defect Repair with Particulated Juvenile Cartilage Allograft

Objective: This clinical study was conducted to evaluate a cartilage repair procedure of transplanting particulated juvenile cartilage tissue allograft (DeNovo NT Natural Tissue Graft). Design: A multi-center, prospective, single arm, 25-subject clinical study was designed to evaluate clinical outcomes such as IKDC and KOOS scores, as well as extent and quality of repair with MRI and optional b...

Arthroscopic Management of Isolated Tibial Plateau Defect With Microfracture and Micronized Allogeneic Cartilage–Platelet-Rich Plasma Adjunct

Articular cartilage lesions of the tibial plateau are an uncommonly encountered clinical entity, and they have been comparatively less well studied than femoral condyle or patellofemoral defects. The management of these lesions is complicated by the challenging geometry, difficult surgical approach, and proximity to important anatomic structures, and thus, treating these lesions by previously e...
