Osteochondral Proximal Tibial and Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplant.

ABSTRACT: Knee pain in young, active patients with meniscus-deficient knees and articular cartilage damage can present a challenge to treatment. Meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has shown good clinical results as treatment for meniscus deficiency; however, worse outcomes have been observed in patients with significant chondral damage. The development of chondral restorative techniques such as osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) has expanded the population of patients who may benefit from MAT. We present a case of proximal tibial osteochondral and lateral meniscal allograft transplant. This review includes a sample of patient examinations and imaging, followed by a detailed technical description of the case. The technique article concludes with a discussion on the niche combined MAT-OCA procedures occupy in the patient treatment realm.

Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplant: Dovetail Bone Bridge Preparation.

Project description:Meniscal tears are among the most common knee injuries encountered by an orthopaedic surgeon. Once treated with total meniscectomy, meniscal preservation is now the standard of care. Not all meniscal tears are repairable, and meniscal allograft transplantation has become an integral part of the preservation algorithm. This procedure is often recommended in a young active patient with healthy articular cartilage who has undergone a previous subtotal or total meniscectomy. There are many surgical methods for meniscal allograft transplantation, and the bone bridge technique has shown good improvement in outcome scores and good long-term survival. We describe our preferred technique for preparation of the dovetail bone bridge meniscal allograft for lateral meniscal allograft transplantation.

Meniscal Allograft Transplantation With Concomitant Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation.

Project description:Surgical strategies for knee joint preservation are numerous, with the procedure(s) of choice for a given patient dependent on the status of the articular cartilage, meniscus, overall alignment, and ligamentous stability. For patients with large, isolated, osteochondral defects of the articular cartilage of the femoral condyle, osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) is often performed in an effort to reduce pain and improve function. Similarly, for appropriately indicated patients with symptomatic meniscus deficiency, meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) is an excellent surgical solution. Often patients require concomitant MAT and OCA as part of a joint preservation strategy. In this Technical Note, we describe the surgical technique for performing arthroscopic-assisted concomitant lateral MAT and lateral femoral condyle OCA as part of a knee joint preservation strategy.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplant for Combined Medial and Lateral Patellar Cartilage Lesions: The Osteochondral Wide Lesion (OWL) Technique.

Project description:Symptomatic articular cartilage injuries are often seen in young active patients and athletes. Magnetic resonance imaging screening examinations have frequently identified such lesions in athletic patients. Patellofemoral chondral defects were previously identified as the most common knee cartilage lesion in high-level athletes. Chondral defects measuring 2 cm2 or greater and complex cartilage defects involving bone loss are ideally replaced with fresh osteochondral allograft. We describe a technique indicated for patients with symptomatic and recurrent anterior knee pain associated with osteochondral patellar defects including the lateral and medial patellar facets. Patients who have undergone previous interventions, including membrane techniques, microfracture, or autologous chondral transplantation, without clinical benefit are also eligible to undergo osteochondral allograft transplantation for combined medial and lateral patellar cartilage lesions, that is, the osteochondral wide lesion (OWL) technique.

Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplantation: The Bone Trough Technique.

Project description:The lateral meniscus plays a critical role in the stability and health of the knee. Treating patients who have undergone a total lateral meniscectomy or functional equivalent is challenging, especially young and active patients. Current literature regarding meniscal tears supports that repair should be the first surgical option. Moreover, it is recommended to preserve as much meniscal tissue as possible. In cases in which a total or functional meniscectomy is a pre-existing condition, a lateral meniscal allograft transplantation is a possible option. The purpose of this surgical technique description was to detail the method of lateral meniscal allograft transplantation using a bone trough.

Bone Trough Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplantation: The Tapered Teardrop Technique.

Project description:The meniscus plays a vital role in knee biomechanics, and its physical absence or functional incompetence (e.g., irreparable root or radial tear) leads to unacceptably high rates of joint degeneration in affected populations. Meniscal allograft transplantation has been used successfully to treat patients with postmeniscectomy syndrome, and there is early laboratory and radiographic evidence hinting at a potential prophylactic role in preventing joint degeneration. We present a technique for lateral meniscal allograft transplantation using the CONMED Meniscal Allograft Transplantation system.

Arthroscopic Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplantation With the Key-Hole Technique.

Project description:The efficacy of meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) for the meniscus-deficient knee has been widely recognized as being excellent in terms of pain relief and functional improvement. Lateral MAT is usually performed with the bone bridge technique that uses a bone bridge connecting the anterior and posterior horns of an allograft. The slot position for the meniscal graft insertion is of great importance with the bone bridge technique, especially in the key-hole method. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe lateral MAT using the key-hole technique in which an allograft with a bone bridge carved to accommodate the key-hole-shaped slot is properly secured to the slot.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplantation With Open Ligamentous Extra-Articular Tenodesis.

Project description:Lateral meniscus allograft transplantation is performed in predominantly young, active patients and is an option to stabilize the joint in lateral meniscus-deficient patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The lateral meniscus functions as an important restraint to anterior tibial translation, and meniscal transplant in such a patient may improve survivability of the graft in addition to preserving the patient's articular cartilage in the long term. A ligamentous extra-articular tenodesis procedure may be performed simultaneously to augment rotational stability of the joint, particularly in a patient with underlying ligamentous hyperlaxity.

Lateral Capsular Fixation: An Implant-Free Technique to Prevent Meniscal Allograft Extrusion.

Project description:Although several surgical techniques have been described to perform meniscal allograft transplantation with good clinical results and although different methods of capsular stabilization can be found in the literature, there is no standard surgical technique to prevent a common complication in the most of series: the tendency to a radial displacement or extrusion of the transplanted menisci. We present a simple, reproducible, and implant-free technique to perform a lateral capsular fixation (capsulodesis) at the time of only the soft-tissue fixation technique of meniscal allograft transplantation in an effort to reduce or prevent the risk of graft extrusion. Using a minimum of two 2.4-mm tunnels drilled from the contralateral side of the tibia with the help of a regular tibial anterior cruciate ligament guide, a capsular attachment to the lateral tibial plateau is obtained.

Revision Shoulder Instability Surgery After Failed Latarjet: Glenoid Reconstruction Using Distal Tibial Allograft and Humeral Head Reconstruction Using Osteochondral Allograft.

Project description:Revision surgery for a failed Latarjet procedure is rare and technically demanding with few viable options. Similarly, massive defects to the articular humeral head require thoughtful techniques to recreate a congruent joint. Revision options for failed Latarjet have been studied, but there is yet to be a consensus on graft options. Distal tibial allograft has shown favorable outcomes in midterm data. Humeral head osteochondral allograft has also shown favorable outcomes for very large humeral head defects. However, there is a paucity of literature to demonstrate efficacy of combining the 2 aforementioned techniques. Revision shoulder instability surgery with glenoid reconstruction using distal tibial allograft and humeral head reconstruction using osteochondral allograft restores the glenohumeral articulation while preserving the remaining native bone stock.

Treatment of Malalignment and Cartilage Injury: High Tibial Osteotomy With a Concomitant Osteochondral Allograft to the Medial Femoral Condyle and Lateral and Medial Partial Meniscectomy.

Project description:In patients with full-thickness focal cartilage defects, osteochondral allograft is a technique for restoration of hyaline cartilage; however, in patients with genu varum, the diseased compartment of the knee is generally offloaded as well. A high tibial osteotomy presents a biomechanical solution to malalignment of the knee and offloading of the diseased compartment of the knee. The purpose of this Technical Note is to present our preferred technique to treat focal cartilage damage in a varus misaligned knee coupling a high tibial osteotomy with an osteochondral allograft to the medial femoral condyle, along with partial medial and lateral meniscectomy.
