osteochondral

It was decided to do an osteochondral bone graft transfer.

This has the advantage that more osteochondral tissue is available and larger damages can be repaired.

Open reduction and internal fixation surgery is typically used to repair an osteochondral fracture.

Cartilage, osteochondral allograft or meniscus donors should preferably be under 45 years of age.

The osteochondral fracture occurs on the weight-bearing portion of the lateral condyle.

How tissue maturity influences osteochondral failure.

The deepened depression of the lateral condylopatellar sulcus is attributed to an osteochondral impaction fracture.

In older people, the lesion typically appears as an area of osteosclerotic bone with a radiolucent line between the osteochondral defect and the epiphysis.

The most common injury to the lateral femoral condyle is an osteochondral fracture combined with a patellar dislocation.

Osteochondral Autograft and Allografts.

Some authors have used the terms osteochondrosis dissecans and osteochondral fragments as synonyms for OCD.

Injuries due to both sports and other strenuous and actidental activities can lead to both chondral and osteochondral damage.

On July 10, 1998, the claimant underwent a right knee arthroscopic debridement, partial lateral meniscectomy and osteochondral mosaic bone graft.

Although 5 of the patients had developed focal post-traumatic osteochondral defects none of the patients had macroscopic evidence of osteoarthritis.

Ashbee was, however, cursed by an old injury in the subsequent Championship campaign, being diagnosed with an osteochondral defect, a degenerative bone condition in his femur.

Osteochondral autograft (OATS) is a technique that requires that the surgeon transplant sections of bone and cartilage.

It was suggested that repeat arthroscopic debridement be carried out at which stage an osteochondral mosaic bone graft would be done during the same procedure if indicated.

As a result, surgery is often required in even moderate cases where the osteochondral fragment has not detached from the bone (Anderson Stage II, III).

In osteochondral fragmentation models, intravenous HA has been shown to decrease lameness, improve the synovial membrane, and lower protein and prostaglandin E2 levels within joints.

Depending on the severity and overall size of the damage multiple plugs or dowels may be required to adequately repair the joint, which becomes difficult for Osteochondral Autografts.

The knee microfracture surgery technique popularized by Steadman relies on the release of these cells into a cartilage lesion to initiate fibrocartilage repair in osteochondral defects.

They explain that the significance of this cartilage regeneration protocol is that it is successful in patients with historically difficult-to-treat grade IV bipolar or bone-on-bone osteochondral lesions.

There are three methods of grafting cartilage defects, including periosteal grafting, osteochondral grafting (mosaicplasty), and articular cartilage stem cell paste grafting.

These procedures can include debridement, marrow stimulation techniques such as microfracture, drilling or abrasion arthroplasty, osteochondral autograft or allograft transplantation, mosiacplasty or autologous cartilage implantation.

The overuse injuries included 139 serious injuries such as stress fractures in the back or limbs, elbow ligament injuries and osteochondral injuries (injuries to cartilage and underlying bone).
