Video Summary
The speaker advocates for using large fresh osteochondral allografts (OCA) in cartilage surgery, highlighting their advantages over autografts and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI). OCAs restore true hyaline cartilage and address subchondral bone pathology, offering higher return-to-sport rates and more predictable outcomes, especially in athletes with larger lesions. Despite higher costs, OCAs are becoming more common due to their durability and success. Studies show OCAs have fewer reoperations and better clinical results compared to ACI or microfracture. The speaker emphasizes OCAs as a cost-effective, resilient, and reliable first-line cartilage repair option.
