Descripción
Sumario:Glenoid chondral injuries constitute challenging injuries to treat because of the limited access and the limited options and evidence available for their resolution. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the procedure, pearls, and pitfalls of implantation of a cryopreserved osteochondral allograft (Cartiform) for the treatment of full-thickness cartilage defects of the shoulder. Cartiform is a cryopreserved osteochondral allograft composed of chondrocytes, chondrogenic growth factors, and extracellular matrix proteins that can be implanted through a single-stage procedure.
