<h2>Osteochondral Transplant</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>We have pioneered this technique at Fitzpatrick Referrals, yielding new hope for debilitating cartilage erosion of many joints, especially those affected by osteochondritis dissecans (OCD).</p>
<h4>Osteochondral Autograft Transfer System</h4>
<p> </p>
<p>(OATS™) uses the patient’s own tissue to resurface joint defects – such as in stifle OCD where plugs of cartilage and bone harvested from the side of the trochlear ridge can be used to fill a defect in the articular surface.</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>Synthetic Osteochondral core (SOC)</h4>
<p> </p>
<p>MRI scan of a synthetic core that is placed to fill an OCD defect in a canine elbow joint.</p>
