Abstract

The third issue of this four-issue series is focused on the importance of the bone-cartilage interface with respect to resurfacing treatments in the knee. Hoemann and co-authors address the basic science of the bone-cartilage interface and its relevance to current and future methods of cartilage repair. Miniaci and McCoy review the indications and outcomes associated with osteochondral autografts. Bugbee and colleagues address the use of osteochondral allografts, and in related work, Stoker and co-authors present a novel system for osteochondral allograft preservation that has the potential to markedly improve storage time and graft quality. As with our previous issues, these authors have done a wonderful job in accomplishing our goals of presenting a comprehensive, patient-based approach, discussing the science behind the surgery, and providing the most current and groundbreaking information to you as knee surgeons.
