This study sought to further characterize potential immune system contributions to OCA transplantation treatment failures by analyzing donor-recipient ABO and Rh-factor mismatches and histological and immunohistochemical assessments of transplanted OCA tissues recovered from revision surgeries. Using a dedicated registry, OCA transplant recipients with documented treatment failures who met inclusion criteria (<i>n</i> = 33) as well as age-, body mass index-, and joint-matched patients with successful outcomes (<i>n</i> = 70) were analyzed to compare matched cohorts of patients with successful versus failed OCA transplantation outcomes. Tissues recovered from 18 failed OCA transplants and portions of 7 nonimplanted OCA controls were further analyzed to provide contributing evidence for potential immune response mechanisms. For patients analyzed, no statistically significant differences in proportions for treatment success versus failure based on mismatches for ABO type, Rh factor, or both were noted. Further, no statistically significant differences in proportions for histological immune response presence or absence based on mismatches for ABO type, Rh factor, or both were noted. Twelve (67%) of the failed OCA tissues contained lymphocyte aggregations in the subchondral bone, which were comprised of combinations of CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , and CD20+ lymphocytes. The mechanisms of failure for these 12 OCA transplants involved insufficient OCA osteointegration.

The primary aim of the study was to determine if WB alignment could be mimicked or inferred based on intraoperative alignment findings. We conducted a prospective analysis from a cohort of 129 TKAs undergoing a CAS TKA at a single center by a single surgeon. The HKAA was recorded using the CAS navigation system immediately postregistration of navigation data and after implantation of the prosthesis. The intraoperative HKAA was recorded in both the supine \"resting\" position of the knee and also while the knee was manipulated in an effort to replicate the patient's WB alignment. These measurements were compared with the HKAA recorded on pre- and postoperative WB LLRs. There was a strong correlation between the preoperative WB LLR HKAA and the intraoperative preimplant CAS-derived stressed HKAA (<i>R</i> = 0.946).

Thus, the interpretation of intraoperative alignment data is potentially problematic. Despite technological advances in the development and utilization of computer navigation and robotics in arthroplasty to help obtain the optimal alignment, it would seem apparent from our study that this alignment does not correlate to upright stance postoperatively.

We conducted a single-center prospective study of 92 patients who underwent APM surgery for associated knee pain.

Based on demonstrated safety for early weight-bearing following MAT in conjunction with significant advances in graft preservation and surgical techniques, our joint preservation center implemented a shift in practice toward accelerated weight-bearing following MAT and designed this study to test the hypothesis that accelerated rehabilitation would be associated with superior adherence, patient-reported outcomes, and patient satisfaction, without diminishing patient safety, when compared with standard rehabilitation. Patients were included for analyses when they had undergone fresh or fresh-frozen MAT using a double bone plug technique for treatment of medial or lateral meniscus deficiency and had at least 1-year treatment outcomes recorded. The results of this study revealed that patients who were prescribed accelerated rehabilitation after MAT were significantly more adherent than patients who were prescribed standard rehabilitation and reported statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in knee pain and function for at least 1-year following MAT, whereas those in the standard cohort did not. While not statistically different, treatment failure rate was lower in the accelerated rehabilitation cohort when compared with the standard rehabilitation cohort (11 vs. 29%). Importantly, initial outcomes for revision MAT were associated with short-term success in all the patients who opted for this option in the study population.
