Abstract

Objective To collate current literature pertaining to the published reports of indications for, and outcomes of, osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantations in the shoulder so as to guide surgeons in the management of various etiologies of osteochondral lesions in this joint. Design A systematic review of the current literature was performed in February 2022 in the PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases using specific search terms and predetermined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results One-hundred-twenty-three articles were initially identified, 30 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 17 articles met inclusion criteria. Data were collected for study characteristics, etiology, lesion size/location, intervention/type of graft used, follow-up, and outcomes. In total, 83 shoulders were included ( n = 83) in the review with an average follow-up of 45.7 months. Nine specific indications for OCA transplantation in the shoulder included: reverse Hill-Sachs lesions (33), Hill-Sachs lesions (22), pain pump chondrolysis (10), recurrent shoulder instability (7), osteoarthritis/degenerative changes (5), radiofrequency chondrolysis (2), prominent suture anchors (2), glenoid lesion (1), and osteochondritis dissecans (1). Seventeen patients had concomitant surgeries and two patients were lost to follow-up. Of the total 83 shoulders, 68 had favorable outcomes and 13 had unfavorable outcomes as determined by graft incorporation, pain scores, functionality/ROM, patient-reported satisfaction, and/or requirement for revision/arthroplasty. Of the 13 with unfavorable outcomes, a disproportionate number had concomitant surgeries and/or were performed for pain pump chondrolysis (6). Conclusions The use of OCAs appears to be a viable option for a variety of difficult-to-treat shoulder pathologies, particularly those characterized by isolated osteochondral injuries.
