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

ABSTRACT: 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 biomechanically less durable than native hyaline cartilage. Recently, augmentation of the microfractured defect with micronized allogeneic cartilage and platelet-rich plasma has been described to restore hyaline-like cartilage and potentially protect the subchondral bone from postsurgical fracture biology within the base of the defect. We present a simple arthroscopic technique of implanting dehydrated, micronized allogeneic cartilage scaffold to treat an isolated chondral lesion of the glenoid.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Hip Chondral Defect With Microfracture and Platelet-Rich Plasma-Infused Micronized Cartilage Allograft Augmentation.

Project description:Over the past decade, arthroscopic microfracture has become increasingly popular to treat full-thickness (Outerbridge grade IV) chondral defects of the hip. This procedure borrows marrow stimulation treatment principles and techniques from knee arthroscopy, with similar mixed clinical outcomes that may be more favorable in the short term (<2 years) and poorer in the long term. Despite these varied outcomes, microfracture remains the most frequently used technique to treat small focal chondral defects because of the relative ease and cost-effectiveness of the procedure. Consequently, recent efforts have been aimed at improving or augmenting traditional microfracture to achieve more consistent success. BioCartilage (Arthrex, Naples, FL) is a biologically active scaffold containing allograft cartilage that, when combined with autologous conditioned platelet-rich plasma and placed in a defect in which microfracture was performed, may provide a superior repair that mimics native hyaline cartilage rather than the less-durable fibrocartilage that is formed with microfracture alone. This Technical Note and accompanying video review the pertinent techniques, pearls, and potential pitfalls of the microfracture procedure augmented with BioCartilage in the treatment of symptomatic full-thickness chondral defects of the hip.

Particulated Autologous Chondral-Platelet-Rich Plasma Matrix Implantation (PACI) for Treatment of Full-Thickness Cartilage Osteochondral Defects.

Project description:Articular hyaline cartilage injuries can occur as a result of either traumatic of progressive degeneration. When the articular cartilage in a joint is damaged, it can cause joint pain and dysfunction, predisposing patients for the development of early-onset osteoarthritis. There are many restoration procedures available to treat these injuries, such as bone marrow-stimulation techniques, osteoarticular auto/allograft transplants, and autologous chondrocyte implantation. Each of these techniques has its own limitations, which led researchers to explore new regenerative and repair techniques to produce normal hyaline cartilage. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe in detail the particulated autologous chondral-platelet-rich plasma matrix implantation (PACI) technique that could be used as a single-stage cartilage restoration procedure for treatment of full-thickness cartilage and osteochondral defects.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Capitellum Osteochondritis Dissecans With Micronized Allogeneic Cartilage Scaffold.

Project description:Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum is a common disorder that causes pain and functional limitation in the adolescent elbow. Although conservative management is the first line of treatment, surgical intervention is usually recommended for patients with persistent mechanical symptoms, loose bodies, or unstable lesions. Elbow arthroscopy has become the gold standard to evaluate and treat symptomatic OCD lesions. Arthroscopic debridement and bone marrow stimulation have been shown to yield good short-term results. Unfortunately, long-term follow-up has shown less favorable outcomes, with degenerative changes frequently documented. Current marrow stimulation techniques promote the formation of fibrocartilage, which is known to be less durable than hyaline cartilage. We describe an arthroscopic technique of debridement and drilling supplemented with a micronized allogeneic cartilage scaffold to address OCD lesions of the capitellum in an effort to promote hyaline cartilage formation.

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

Project description: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 established methods, such as osteochondral allograft transplantation or osteochondral autograft transfer, can be a technically challenging endeavor. These lesions remain readily available to undergo microfracture, and this is the preferred method of management in the senior author's practice. Although less technically difficult and less invasive than other techniques, microfracture is currently limited by concerns over the long-term durability of the method. Current research seeks to improve the quality of cartilage fill stimulated by microfracture, and adjunct techniques have become increasingly popular. In this technical report, we present a technique for arthroscopic treatment of an isolated tibial plateau defect with microfracture using a micronized allogeneic cartilage (BioCartilage; Arthrex, Naples, FL) and platelet-rich plasma adjunct.

Favorable short-term outcomes of micronized allogenic cartilage scaffold for glenoid cartilage defects associated with posterior glenohumeral instability.

Project description:PurposeTo determine clinical outcomes associated with micronized allogenic cartilage scaffold use for treatment of posterior glenoid cartilage defects at 2 years.Study designCase series.MethodsA retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed on a consecutive series of patients who underwent arthroscopic treatment of a symptomatic posterior glenoid cartilage defect with micronized allogenic cartilage scaffold between January 2019 and December 2020. The primary outcome was subjective shoulder value (SSV) at latest follow-up. Secondary outcomes included visual analog scale (VAS), recurrence of instability, and range of motion (ROM).ResultsSeven patients, including 4 in the setting of primary posterior instability and 3 in the setting of recurrent symptoms after arthroscopic posterior glenohumeral stabilization, were included in the analysis with a mean follow up of 2.6 years (range, 2-3.7 years). Statistically significant improvements were seen in SSV (median = 40, interquartile range [IQR] = 40-50 before surgery; vs median = 85, IQR = 67.5-87.5 after surgery; P = .018) and VAS (median = 4, IQR = 4-6.3 before surgery; vs median = 1, IQR = 0-1.5 after surgery; P = .010). No significant differences were seen in ROM. There were no cases of recurrent instability or reoperation.ConclusionsThe use of micronized allogenic cartilage scaffold for glenoid cartilage defects is associated with clinical improvement at 2-year follow-up. This is the case when performed in conjunction with index posterior labral repair when there is a concomitant glenoid cartilage defect or when performed in the setting of persistent pain and mechanical symptoms after prior posterior labral repair.Level of evidenceLevel IV, therapeutic case series.

Carbon Dioxide Insufflation of the Knee in the Treatment of Full-Thickness Chondral Defects With Micronized Human Articular Cartilage.

Project description:BioCartilage (BC) is dehydrated, minced human hyaline articular cartilage that was developed as an adjunct to microfracture surgery to help stimulate the bone marrow and stem cells to form hyaline-like tissue in full-thickness chondral defects. The minced pieces of BC require a dry environment for application and can easily be disrupted by residual moisture of saline solution in the surrounding tissues. We present a technique of carbon dioxide insufflation during knee arthroscopy as a means of maintaining a dry environment for preparation of the bony bed during BC augmentation of microfracture surgery. This technique is safe and provides more than adequate visualization, as well as a dry environment, to make the arthroscopic application of BC significantly more efficient.

Cartilage Repair Capacity within a Single Full-Thickness Chondral Defect in a Porcine Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis Model Is Affected by the Location within the Defect.

Project description:ObjectiveLarge articular cartilage defects are a challenge to regenerative surgery. Biomaterial scaffolds might provide valuable support for restoration of articulating surface. The performance of a composite biomaterial scaffold was evaluated in a large porcine cartilage defect.DesignCartilage repair capacity of a biomaterial combining recombinant human type III collagen (rhCo) and poly-(l/d)-lactide (PLA) was tested in a porcine model. A full-thickness chondral defect covering the majority of the weightbearing area was inflicted to the medial femoral condyle of the right knee. Spontaneous cartilage repair and nonoperated healthy animals served as controls. The animals were sacrificed after a 4-month follow-up. The repair tissue was evaluated with the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) macroscopic score, ICRS II histological score, and with micro-computed tomography. Additionally, histopathological evaluation of lymph nodes and synovial samples were done for toxicological analyses.ResultsThe lateral half of the cartilage defect in the operated groups showed better filling than the medial half. The mean overall macroscopic score for the rhCo-PLA, spontaneous, and nonoperated groups were 5.96 ± 0.33, 4.63 ± 0.42, and 10.98 ± 0.35, respectively. The overall histological appearance of the specimens was predominantly hyaline cartilage in 3 of 9 samples of the rhCo-PLA group, 2 of 8 of the spontaneous group, and 9 of 9 of the nonoperated group.ConclusionsThe use of rhCo-PLA scaffold did not differ from spontaneous healing. The repair was affected by the spatial properties within the defect, as the lateral part of the defect showed better repair than the medial part, probably due to different weightbearing conditions.

Arthroscopic Minced Cartilage Implantation for Chondral Lesions at the Talus: A Technical Note.

Project description:In the past few years, autologous chondrocyte implantation has been shown to be the most suitable cartilage reconstructive technique with the best tissue quality. Although this method is part of the standard surgical repertoire in the knee joint, it has so far not been an established method in the ankle because there are no prospective randomized controlled studies to prove a significant advantage over alternative methods of cartilage repair. The methods most frequently used in this context (e.g., marrow stimulation techniques) can, however, at most generate hyaline-like and thus biomechanically inferior regenerates. Minced cartilage implantation, on the other hand, is a relatively simple and cost-effective 1-step procedure with promising biological potential and-at least in the knee joint-satisfactory clinical results. We present an arthroscopic surgical technique by which the surgeon can apply autologous chondrocytes in a 1-step procedure (AutoCart; Arthrex, Munich, Germany) to treat articular cartilage defects in the ankle joint.
