Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Campbell presents a retrospective cohort study on clinical outcomes and return to sport following patellofemoral osteochondral allograft (POCA) with and without tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO). Patellofemoral osteochondral defects are a common cause of anterior-based knee pain, and while POCA has shown good short-term outcomes, long-term survival is poor. Combining POCA with TTO has shown excellent outcomes but lacks comprehensive data. The study aims to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of patients with isolated POCA and those with concomitant TTO. The study reviews 35 patients and finds that both groups had significant improvements in pain levels and comparable return to sport rates, but isolated POCA had a higher graft failure rate.
