Fresh Mega Patella Osteochondral Allograft
Thomas M. DeBerardino, MD, (San Antonio, TX) presents a complex case that included an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) revision, high-tibial osteotomy, medial meniscus allograft transplant, and fresh osteochondral allograft of the patella. Dr. DeBerardino discusses several technical pearls for performing complex procedures, such as creating a GraftLink® construct, using Quickset™* calcium phosphate cement in conjunction with the iBalance® HTO procedure, preparing the meniscal allograft recipient sockets with the FlipCutter® device, and even having BioCartilage® matrix available to address additional articular cartilage lesions that may present intraoperatively.
