Episode 74. AAOS 2024 Recap: Influence of Donor-Recipient Sex-Match on OCA Outcomes (Dr. Meghan Bishop)

Our next AAOS 2024 Annual Meeting poster is titled The Influence of Donor Demographics on Outcomes following Knee Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation. This study was performed by Dr. Brian Cole and Dr. Adam Yanke at Rush and aimed to assess the impact of donor sex and age, donor-recipient sex mismatch, and graft storage duration on clinical outcomes and failure rates in knee OCA transplantation. The authors found that in contrast to previous literature, no substantial survival difference was observed for sex- mismatched OCA donors and recipients in terms of reoperation or failure.
