Osteochondral Autograft and Allograft Procedures
in the Quad Cities
OATS Cartilage Repair
An osteochondral autograft or allograft procedure may be an appropriate treatment option for patients with worn joint cartilage that has left underlying bone exposed. ORA Orthopedics is the premier provider of this joint cartilage restoration treatment in the Quad Cities. Our practice of fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopedic surgeons utilize the latest minimally invasive techniques to achieve optimal results for our patients with as little downtime as possible. Our joint preservation and restoration team also includes physical therapists, nurses, and other compassionate professionals who walk patients through every step of the care process, from diagnosis through recovery.
Osteochondral autograft and allograft procedures achieve the same goal in different ways. Both surgeries are performed to remove and replace the joint’s worn cartilage linings as well as a portion of the affected bone. Autograft procedures use bone and cartilage from elsewhere in the patient’s own body to restore the anatomy of the joint, while allograft procedures utilize tissues from a donor. Osteochondral autograft and allograft procedures are often performed in the knee joint, but may also be used to replace worn bone and cartilage in other joints of the body.
