Knee
Condyle: S-Core® joint restoration platform is a simple reproducible solution as compared to an OATS procedure. There is no donor site morbidity (Auto-OATS) or requirements for a dual stage procedure (Allo-OATS) and S-Core® is significantly less expensive. The S-Core® platform design incorporates instrumentation that preserves and decompresses the bone. The S-Core® implant threads in giving the surgeon precise depth control, provides a point of fixation for soft-tissue allograft and ultimately resulting in a functionally anatomic reconstruction of the entire osteochondral unit for a time zero repair.
PFJ: Lesions of the PFJ often prove to be very symptomatic for the patient as the Patella pushes down on the Trochlea like a ball pein hammer.
Trochlea: Procedure can be accomplished arthroscopically just medial or lateral to the tendon or transtendinous with a dilator. Patella: Kissing lesions or isolated lesions of the patella can be addressed as well with a mini-open procedure.
Shoulder
Hills-Sachs: Shoulder Instability can lead to engaging hill-sachs defects on the humeral head. Classic treatment options include Bankart or Replissage. Instead, S-Core® can be used to reconstruct and stabilize the defect and proliferate new cartilage.
Distal Clavicle: Is an important bone acting as a strut in the shoulder complex. Rather than distal clavicle resection, S-Core® can target the diseased area of the distal clavicle joint.
