Abstract
METHODS
Thirty-one patients who underwent OCA transplantation between July 2013 and July 2016 were identified for this comparative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis. Patients were stratified into two groups based on the treatment with the Arthrex Allograft OATS Instrument Set or the JRF Ortho Osteochondral Allograft Plug Instrumentation. MRI was obtained at 12 months postoperatively. All grafts were assessed for integration using the Osteochondral Allograft MRI Scoring System (OCAMRISS), host marrow edema size, graft-host interface distance, graft cartilage integrity, cyst size, graft contour and presence of effusion.RESULTS
At a mean follow-up of 11.39 ± 1.98 months, 95.5% of all grafts showed osseous integration into the recipient bone with 68.2% presenting without cystic changes of the graft or host-graft junction. No differences were seen in any OCAMRISS subscale besides cartilage signal, which demonstrated minimal differences (P = 0.046).
