Plate Fixation Technique for Reducing Osteoarticular Allograft Fracture: A Preliminary Report.

Conclusion: The new method of osteochondral allograft fixation using single plate, fewer screws, and divergent screw fixation yielded a lower fracture rate and a longer median time to fracture than the conventional method; however the differences between groups did not achieve statistical significance. The results of this preliminary study should be confirmed in a larger group of allografts over a longer follow-up period. PMID: 29952455 [PubMed - in process]
