Improved Short-Term Outcomes of Osteochondral Lesions of the Knee Following Arthroscopic Treatment With Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate and Cartilage-Derived Matrix

Purpose: To assess the postoperative objective, subjective, and functional outcomes as well as complication rates in osteochondral defect patients treated with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and cartilage-derived matrix (CDM) during knee arthroscopy. Methods: A retrospective chart review wa...

description Purpose: To assess the postoperative objective, subjective, and functional outcomes as well as complication rates in osteochondral defect patients treated with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and cartilage-derived matrix (CDM) during knee arthroscopy. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for patients treated arthroscopically with BMAC and CDM between August 2015 and August 2018 and had more than 1-year follow-up. Demographic factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and comorbidities were collected for all patients. Size and location of the osteochondral lesions also were documented. Results: A total of 14 patients were identified with a mean follow-up of 19 months. On average, patients were 34 years of age (range 16-58 years) and 43% were female. Postoperatively, knee flexion increased by 8° from 124° to 132° (P = .002). All patients regained full extension; however, 1 patient later acquired a 2° extension contracture after a traumatic event. The average hamstring strength significantly increased from 4.1 to 4.6 postoperatively (P = .33). The average quadriceps strength significantly increased from 4.0 to 4.5 postoperatively (P = .007). Mean visual analog scale scores significantly decreased postoperatively (4.5 vs 1.4; P = .001). There was a significant increase in Knee Outcome Survey Activities of Daily Living scores (53.8 vs 92.9; P = .007). Mean Knee Outcome Survey-Sports scores also increased, although this was nonsignificant (28.2 vs 79.5; P = .560). No significant differences were noted in pain and functional outcomes when stratified by the osteochondral defect size and location. Complications included a stitch abscess, Baker’s cyst, and residual pain treated with hyaluronic acid injection. Conclusions: This study demonstrated arthroscopic BMAC and CDM implantation appears to be safe and has the potential to improve patient outcomes in the short-term postoperative period. Level of Evidence: IV, therapeutic case series.
