Objective   The purpose of this study was to determine if differences in Wiberg classification play a role in the ability of donor patellar osteochondral allografts to match the native patellar surface when treating osteochondral defects of the patellar apex.Design   Twenty (10 Wiberg I and 10 Wiberg II/III) human patellae were designated as the recipient. Each recipient was size-matched to both a Wiberg I and a Wiberg II/III patellar donor. A 16-mm circular osteochondral “defect” was created on the central ridge of the recipient patella. The randomly ordered donor Wiberg I or Wiberg II/III plug was harvested from a homologous location and transplanted into the recipient. The recipient was then nano-CT (computed tomography) scanned, digitally reconstructed, registered to the initial nano-CT scan of the recipient patella, and processed to determine root mean squared circumferential step-off heights as well as surface height deviation. The process was then repeated for the other allograft plug.Results   There was no significant difference in mean step-off height between matched and unmatched Wiberg plugs; however, there was a statistically significant difference in surface height deviation over the whole surface (0.50 mm and 0.64 mm respectively, P = 0.03). This difference of 0.14 mm is not felt to be clinically significant. Tibial width was correlated to patellar width ( r = 0.82) and patellar height ( r = 0.68).Conclusions   For osteochondral allograft sizes up to 16 mm there appears to be no advantage to match donor and recipient patellar morphology. Further study is warranted to evaluate defects requiring larger graft sizes.
