Osteochondral Autograft Transfer System
Osteochondral defects or damage to both bone and cartilage can occur following a knee injury or due to an underlying bone disorder. Individuals with this condition usually experience pain during weight-bearing activities, along with swelling, knee joint instability, reduced range of motion, and an inability to fully extend or flex the knee joint.
At Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, our esteemed orthopaedic surgeons are proficient in performing OATS procedure with great precision. It offers a solution for such patients and is performed using arthroscopic techniques.
In this procedure, a special device is employed to create a core in the damaged cartilage region. A small portion of healthy cartilage from a non-weight-bearing area is extracted and placed into the damaged cartilage area. Following the surgery, patients are advised to rest for 4-6 weeks and can gradually return to their regular activities upon recovery. This method is typically recommended for individuals under 50 years of age with minimal cartilage loss.
