Clinical Factors Affecting Outcomes of Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation: A Multivariable Analysis of 560 Knees
OCA transplantation performed in all settings yielded effective long-term results, with graft survivorship of 83% at 10 years postoperatively. Patient age ≥30 years, BMI of ≥30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, diagnosis, and graft size >8 cm<sup>2</sup> were independently associated with a higher risk of treatment failure when controlling for other variables. Understanding the effect of clinical variables in a multivariable model is useful for counseling patients on the odds of treatment failure.
