Article Abstract

The number of young athletes who present with combined meniscal and chondral deficiency with the need for joint preservation is increasing. These are challenging situations in which we must balance function with protection of our repair and/or reconstructive techniques but also afford our patients the opportunity to return to sport. Therefore, a careful understanding of mechanical alignment, meniscal repair and reconstructive strategies, and cartilage-restoration techniques is required. Here we present our technique for combined lateral meniscus transplantation with bone block, lateral femoral condyle osteochondral allograft transplantation, and medial closing-wedge distal femur osteotomy using patient-specific instrumentation.

Static cold storage (SCS) on ice has remained the gold standard preservation method for heart transplantation, and prolonged cold ischemia outside the typical 4-6 hour window is associated with an increased risk of primary graft dysfunction - a consequence attributed to ischemic damage and reperfusion injury. This, unfortunately limits the travel radius for donor heart procurement, a key factor that contributes to the overall shortage of donor organs. Recent research and clinical data have illustrated the validity of other preservation systems in preserving cardiac allografts, and many of these devices have shown promise in potentially prolonging the tolerated ischemic time beyond the accepted standard.

Achieving immune tolerance is a key goal in organ transplantation, as it eliminates the need for long-term immunosuppression. Regulatory B cells (Bregs) present a promising strategy for inducing tolerance. Our previous findings demonstrate that the adoptive transfer of ex vivo-expanded murine splenic B regulatory cells, referred to as TLR-Bregs (TLR9/TLR4 stimulation), induces tolerance to allografts.

Objectives: Severe obesity is an established risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events and heart transplantation (HT) outcomes in adults. However, the effect of severe obesity on children after HT is not well studied. We aimed to examine the prevalence and effect of severe obesity on pediatric HT.

Background: Facial transplantation offers transformative solutions for patients with severe facial disfigurements. Minimizing ischemia time is critical for preserving tissue viability, and prioritizing facial allograft recovery during multi-organ procurement aims to optimize outcomes. This study evaluates whether prioritizing face allograft procurement affects the outcomes of non-vascularized composite allotransplantation (non-VCA) organ transplants.
