متن کاملOutcomes of Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation with versus without Concomitant Meniscus Allograft Transplantation: A Comparative Matched Group Analysis
BACKGROUND Osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) is often performed with concomitant meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) as a strategy for knee joint preservation, although to date, the effect of concomitant MAT on outcomes and failure rates after OCA has not been assessed. PURPOSE To determine clinical outcomes for patients undergoing OCA with MAT as compared with a matched coho...
متن کاملRefrigerated osteoarticular allografts to treat articular cartilage defects of the femoral condyles. A prospective outcomes study.
BACKGROUND Because of concerns about infections with the use of fresh osteoarticular allografts, osteoarticular allografts are currently stored hypothermically for a minimum of fourteen days to allow for serologic and microbiologic testing prior to implantation. Refrigerated osteoarticular allograft transplants are often used to treat symptomatic chondral and osteochondral defects in young, act...
