Proven technique for treatment of chondral defects
The osteochondral tissue transfer system
Osteochondral autologous transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves the transplant of the autologous cartilage from the non-weight bearing areas of the knee to the articular defect. It is a reliable and simple procedure in the treatment of full-thickness chondral lesions.
A major disadvantage of this technique is the donor site morbidity associated to the graft harvesting. To overcome this drawback, we harvest the autografts from the upper tibio-fibular joint with low or none donor site morbidity.
It provides hyaline cartilage and allows a fast return to play.
The mosaicplasty technique indicated for treating the cartilage defects up to 9 cm².
Osteochondral autologous transplantation and mosaicplasty procedures remains an excellent option for small to medium osteochondral injuries resulting in long-term good to excellent clinical and imaging outcomes.
