osteochondritis/oxalis tuberosa

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the elbow is a disease of unclear etiology that affects young children and adolescents, particularly overhead athletes and gymnasts. Common surgical options include fixation, debridement, loose body removal, and marrow stimulation (microfracture/drilling). For

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

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee can be difficult to treat. Cartilage restoration techniques are often indicated when the lesion or fragment cannot be salvaged and the patient remains symptomatic. Fresh osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation can restore both bone and cartilage

OBJECTIVE To report clinical outcomes of osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) for skeletally mature patients with osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions of the knee in whom prior surgical intervention has failed, and to describe return-to-sport (RTS) rates and any predictive demographic or

OBJECTIVE Fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) is an increasingly available option for patients with damage to the bone-cartilage complex of the distal femur. This study prospectively assesses osseous integration and early clinical results following fresh OCA with single or multiple

BACKGROUND Isolated chondral and osteochondral defects of the knee are a difficult clinical challenge, particularly in younger patients for whom alternatives such as partial or total knee arthroplasty are rarely advised. Numerous surgical techniques have been developed to address focal cartilage

OBJECTIVE To assess the outcome of osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation as the primary treatment for cartilage injury in patients with no previous surgical treatment. METHODS Case series. Patients were identified in our outcomes database. Patients undergoing primary OCA transplantation with

UNASSIGNED The association between patient satisfaction and patient-reported outcomes after cartilage repair is not well understood. UNASSIGNED To investigate the association of patient satisfaction with pain, function, activity level, and quality of life after fresh osteochondral allograft (OCA)

BACKGROUND Cartilage repair algorithms use lesion size to choose surgical techniques when selecting a cartilage repair procedure. The association of fresh osteochondral allograft (OCA) size with graft survivorship and subjective patient outcomes is still unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine if lesion
