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.
膝关节软骨损伤可影响年轻、活跃的人群,从而导致严重的发病率和巨大的经济负担。尽管文献中描述了多种方法,但透明软骨的修复尚未得到证实。具体而言,较大的全层软骨缺损仍然是一个挑战。本技术说明详细介绍了我们采用生物单髁骨软骨异体移植技术治疗大型股骨髁关节软骨缺损的方法。
