2023 Specialty Day All-Access Pass-What’s New in the Pipeline for Cartilage Surgery

What’s New in the Pipeline for Cartilage Surgery

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Derek Jones from Ochsner in New Orleans discusses advancements in cartilage surgery. He mentions that the Missouri Osteochondral Preservation System (MOPS) has shown improved viability and survival rates compared to standard preservation techniques. Unipolar and bipolar lesions both had better outcomes with MOPS. The Macy technique, which uses a type 1 and type 3 collagen carrier, also showed better results compared to microfracture. Viable Cartilage Fiber (VCA) graft, mixed with cartilage allograft matrix, demonstrated good proteoglycan production. Overall, these new techniques and grafts have shown significant improvements in patient outcomes, sport activities, and quality of life. The JILI-C implant also showed promise in drawing cells into place and improving gene expression and fill rates in cartilage defects. This summary is based on the video transcript provided and no credits were granted.
