PG - 77-83 LID - 10.1177/19476035231207780 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the outcomes, survivorship, and complications following multi-surface cartilage procedures at minimum 2-year follow-up. DESIGN: Patients with either (1) single-surface osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCAT) with third-generation matrix-induced autologous cultured chondrocyte implantation (MACI) or particulated juvenile cartilage implantation (DeNovo), or (2) multiple-surface OCAT +/- associated MACI/DeNovo procedures for grade IV chondral or osteochondral defects about the knee with minimum 2-year follow-up were analyzed. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales, were obtained preoperatively and at minimum 2 years postoperatively. The percentage of patients who met the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for each PROM was reported. Failure was defined as revision OCAT, conversion to patellofemoral/total/unicompartmental joint arthroplasty, or Arthrosurface HemiCAP placement. RESULTS: Of 257 patients identified, 35 were included. There was a significant increase in IKDC, KOOS-pain, KOOS-symptom, KOOS-sport, and KOOS-quality of life scores from preoperative to postoperative evaluation (P < 0.03 for all). More than 50% of patients met the MCID for each PROM. There were 2 failures, 1 of the patella and 1 of the medial femoral condyle, at 39.7 and 38.6 months postoperatively, respectively. DISCUSSION: Multi-surface cartilage procedures are a safe, efficacious treatment option for multifocal cartilage defects about the knee at short-term follow-up.
