Article Synopsis
- Preoperative MRI, especially using 3D modeling software, is aimed at estimating the amount of tissue needed for knee osteochondral allograft (FOCA) procedures, potentially improving accuracy in assessing graft requirements.
- A study assessing the capabilities of this damage assessment (DA) software revealed that it significantly overestimated the necessary graft surface area that was actually transplanted, doing so 81.6% of the time with a notable median overestimation.
- The software's overestimation was particularly pronounced for larger defects; for those above 4.52 cm, it consistently predicted more tissue than was used, pointing to the need for more reliable estimation methods in preoperative planning.
