Patients with multiple knee operations before TKA were more likely to experience functional limitations or TKA failure. The patients who experienced TKA failure were part of a challenging subset of young patients treated with numerous orthopaedic procedures, and while these patients had inferior results with TKA after OCA, the OCA transplantation extended the time before a TKA was required without adding surgical complications.
