DESIGN: Patients with either (1) single-surface osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCAT) with third-generation matrix-induced autologous cultured chondrocyte implantation (MACI) or particulated juvenile cartilage implantation (DeNovo), or (2) multiple-surface OCAT ± associated MACI/DeNovo procedures for grade IV chondral or osteochondral defects about the knee with minimum 2-year follow-up were analyzed. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales, were obtained preoperatively and at minimum 2 years postoperatively. The percentage of patients who met the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for each PROM was reported. Failure was defined as revision OCAT, conversion to patellofemoral/total/unicompartmental joint arthroplasty, or Arthrosurface HemiCAP placement. RESULTS: < 0.03 for all). More than 50% of patients met the MCID for each PROM. There were 2 failures, 1 of the patella and 1 of the medial femoral condyle, at 39.7 and 38.6 months postoperatively, respectively. DISCUSSION: Multi-surface cartilage procedures are a safe, efficacious treatment option for multifocal cartilage defects about the knee at short-term follow-up.","journal":"Cartilage","year":2023,"id":380453,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":5,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.957,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1145502,"name":"Guilherme M.
