Surgical Technique: ProChondrix

Abstract

Acetabular cartilage defects are commonly found along the chondrolabral junction, particularly in the presence of severe CAM deformities. Large defects, when left untreated, can lead to significant pain and progressive joint deterioration. We have developed an all-arthroscopic technique to graft these cartilage lesions using ProChondrix, an off-theshelf, cryopreserved, fresh osteochondral allograft. This technique can easily be combined with standard femoroplasty, rim trimming, and labral repairs in order to address all of these connected pathologies and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
