Abstract:

Background

Controversy remains over the surgical management of large osteochondral lesions of the femoral head in young, active patients. The purpose of this study is to assess midterm clinical and radiographic outcomes after fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation (OAT) for large femoral head lesions at minimum 2-year follow-up.

Methods

A retrospective review of prospectively collected data was performed for 22 patients under the age of 50 years with defined femoral head osteochondral lesions who underwent fresh OAT between 2008 and 2015. Patients were assessed clinically using the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) preoperatively and at each follow-up visit. Postoperative radiographs were evaluated for graft integrity and Kellgren & Lawrence Grade for osteoarthritis severity. Complications and reoperation were assessed by chart review. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analyses with 95% confidence intervals were performed for the end point of conversion to total hip arthroplasty.

Results

At a mean follow-up of 68.8 months (26-113), the mean mHHS improved significantly (P < .001) from 48.9 (19-84) to 77.4 (35-98). Sixteen of 22 patients (72.7%) had an mHHS ≥70 at the latest follow-up. Arthritic progression, as indicated by an increase in the Kellgren & Lawrence Grade, occurred in 4 of 22 hips (18.2%). Five patients (22.7%) underwent conversion to total hip arthroplasty. Graft survivorship was 86.4 ± 7.3% at 2 years, 78.5 ± 10.0% at 5 years, and 67.3 ± 13.5% at 9 years.

Conclusion

Fresh OAT may be a viable treatment option for osteochondral defects of the femoral head in young, active patients with minimal preexisting joint deformity.
