Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein is a device that helps to reduce the potential for inaccuracies and uncertainties associated with allograft cartilage transfer procedures. In one embodiment, the disclosed device generally includes a shaft, a stationary ring attached to the shaft, and a movable ring attached to the shaft and configured to move either toward the stationary ring or away from the stationary ring along the axis of the shaft. In practice, the device may be placed within a recipient cavity and adjusted such that one ring is positioned at the distal surface of the recipient cavity and the other ring is flush with the native cartilage surface of the recipient. The device may be removed from the recipient cavity, a donor graft placed within, and any excess donor graft extending beyond the rings trimmed off. The donor graft may then be removed from the device and inserted within the recipient cavity.
