"Osteochondral allograft transplantation offers favorable short- to mid-term outcomes for patients with cartilage defects in the knee. But the rate of reoperation is reportedly high, and few studies have explored the mid- to long-term outcomes of transplantation. To address this gap, researchers analyzed significant outcomes, failures, and graft survival rates over a minimum of 5 years in patients undergoing OCA transplantation of the femoral condyles. Despite a high reoperation rate, findings suggest that OCA transplantation is associated with significant clinical improvement at mid- to long-term follow-up. The researchers followed up with 160 patients for an average of 7.7 years after OCA transplantation. All patient-reported outcomes related to joint and physical health improved significantly between baseline and final follow-up..."
