ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Supply-demand mismatch of medial femoral condyle (MFC) osteochondral allografts (OCAs) remains a rate-limiting factor in the treatment of osteochondral defects of the femoral condyle. Surface contour mapping was used to determine whether a contralateral lateral femoral condyle (LFC) versus ipsilateral MFC OCA differs in the alignment of donornative subchondral bone for large osteochondral defects of the MFC.DESIGN:
Thirty fresh-frozen human femoral condyles were matched by tibial width into 10 groups of 3 condyles (MFC recipient, MFC donor, and LFC donor) each for 3 cartilage surgeons (90 condyles). The recipient MFC was imaged using nano-computed tomography scan. Donor oval grafts were harvested from each matched condyle and transplanted into a 17 mm × 36 mm defect created in the recipient condyle. Following the first transplant, the recipient condyle was imaged and superimposed on the native condyle nano-CT scan. The donor plug was removed and the process repeated for the other donor. Surface height deviation and circumferential step-off height deviation were compared between native and donor subchondral bone surfaces for each transplant.RESULTS:
There was no statistically significant difference in mean subchondral bone surface deviation (LFC = 0.87 mm, MFC = 0.76 mm, P = 0.07) nor circumferential step-off height (LFC = 0.93 mm, MFC = 0.85 mm, P = 0.09) between the LFC and MFC plugs. There were no significant differences in outcomes between surgeons.CONCLUSIONS:
There were no significant differences in subchondral bone circumferential step-off or surface deviation between ipsilateral MFC and contralateral LFC oval-shaped OCAs for 17 mm × 36 mm defects of the MFC.Palabras clave
