Hi
Firstly Oats is an abbreviation forOsteoarticular Transfer System and it is used for treating focal cartilage defects mostly in the knee.
I am having this same procedure carried out on the 10th July 2008.
The procedure can be carried out either through'key hole' or 'open surgery' depending on the size of defect. Mine is 'open surgery'
Really all this consists of is taking small plugs of cartilage and underlying bone from a non weight bearing area of the knee and insert them into the area that is needing the cartilage.
This type of procedure is only suitable for smallish defects and mine is borderline at a size of 22mm by 15mm.
If x-rays or an arthroscopic examination shows evidence of more widespread cartilage damage then this procedure will not be carried out. This would be because the OatsProcedure wouldn't benefit the patient.
Some people i know have had this procedure carried out and have returned home the same day. Mine, i have been told i will be in hospital for 3 days. But, this depends on the individual and the extent of the defect.
You look at being no-weight-bearing for approximately 6 to 8 weeks and then slightly starting to introduce weight but, again this depends on the individual and the extent of the defect. Just for an idea, I have been told no-weight bearing for 3 months.
