Exploring Osteochondral Allografts for Knee Injuries
When does a knee cartilage defect need more than a clean-up, and how do you decide on the best repair? On this episode of BackTable Bone & Sports, Dr. Larry Balle welcomes orthopedic sports surgeon Dr. Sachin Allahabadi for a practical tour of cartilage restoration. Together they explain what articular cartilage is, why it rarely heals on its own, and how to distinguish focal chondral defects from diffuse arthritis. The discussion covers the full spectrum of treatment, from chondroplasty and microfracture to cell-based restoration, osteochondral autograft, and allograft transplantation.
