Background: Chondrocyte viability is associated with the clinical success of osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of distal femoral OCA plug harvest and recipient site preparation on regional cell viability using traditional handheld saline irrigation versus saline submersion.
Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
Background: Osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation is an important surgical technique for full-thickness chondral defects in the knee. For patients undergoing this procedure, topography matching between the donor and recipient sites is essential to limit premature wear of the OCA. Currently, there is no standardized process of donor and recipient graft matching.

Methods: Patients who underwent primary HA for FAIS with minimum 10-year follow-up from January 2012 to December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Female patients were propensity-matched to male patients in a 1:1 ratio by age and body mass index.
Purpose: To evaluate minimum 2-year gluteus medius and/or minimus repair clinical success rates stratified by the 3-grade magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based classification (MRI grade) and to evaluate clinical success rates by the surgical approach used at each MRI grade and by the Goutallier-Fuchs (GF) classification.
Methods: A retrospective review identified patients who underwent primary endoscopic or open gluteus medius and/or minimus repair from 2012 to 2021 performed by a single surgeon. Preoperative MRI scans were classified using the MRI grade and GF classification.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates long-term clinical outcomes of patients with borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) who underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) compared to similar patients without BHD, focusing on outcomes measured 10 years post-surgery.
- - A total of 28 patients with BHD were matched with 84 control patients without BHD based on age, sex, and body mass index; both groups showed significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from preoperative assessments.
- - Although PRO scores improved similarly, patients with BHD had lower scores in the Sports subscale, indicating potential limitations in athletic performance post-surgery compared to controls; however, rates of achieving minimal
