Abstract | :
Chondral lesions of the knee can affect the young, active population, thereby causing severe morbidity and a large economic burden. Although numerous approaches have been described in the literature, restoration of hyaline cartilage has yet to be shown. Specifically, larger, full-thickness cartilage defects remain a challenge. This Technical Note details our technique for biologic unicompartmental osteochondral allograft transplantation for the treatment of large femoral condyle articular cartilage defects. |
