Osteoarticular Allografts
Transplanting fresh bone and cartilage for large joint defects.
Osteoarticular Allografts
For substantial full-thickness cartilage defects (greater than 2cm) that mirror localized osteoarthritis, fresh Osteoarticular Allografts are the gold standard. We utilize fresh, size-matched donor bone and living hyaline cartilage 'plugs' from young donors to replace damaged areas. This 'biologic resurfacing' procedure can repair large bone/cartilage craters, significantly enhancing joint function and often extending the joint's life by a decade or more for suitable candidates.
Surgical Process
Donor Matching
Sourcing a young donor bone that exactly matches your knee size via MRI study.
Biologic Prep
Removing the damaged cartilage/bone 'crater' and preparing the donor living graft.
Precision Fit
Press-fitting the match-sized donor plug to integration with your host bone.
Patient Care
Recovery Roadmap
Strict non-weightbearing for 8 weeks with a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) device (8-10 hours daily). Stationary biking begins at 2 weeks. After 8-week X-ray verification, partial loading starts, advancing to full weight-bearing by 3 months.
Who Needs This Procedure?
Patients with large, symptomatic cartilage craters (>2cm²) in a single compartment
Active individuals under 50 with healthy, stable ligaments but localized bone/cartilage loss
Patients seeking a 'biologic resurfacing' to delay a metallic knee replacement
Individuals with localized osteoarthritis from previous trauma or injury
