Allograft arthroplasty is a promising cartilage-resurfacing technique. A 14-year-old horse was diagnosed with a medial femoral condyle subchondral bone cyst. Allografts were harvested from a young donor animal and implanted to fill the cyst cavity. A visual assessment of the surgical site was possible during follow-up arthroscopy. In addition to a desirable gliding surface and a good adaptation of the grafts, fibrillation of the cranial ligament of the medial meniscus was noted and debrided. The recipient horse became sound four months after follow-up surgery with a high level of owner satisfaction. In conclusion allograft transplantation is a promising technique for treating subchondral bone cysts.
同种异体关节移植是一种很有前途的软骨表面修复技术。一匹 14 岁的马被诊断出患有内侧股骨髁软骨下骨囊肿。同种异体移植物取自年轻供体动物，并植入以填充囊腔。在后续的关节镜检查中可以对手术部位进行直观评估。除了理想的滑行表面和移植物的良好适应性外，还注意到并切除了内侧半月板的额状韧带的骨化。在后续手术四个月后，受者马恢复正常，并且马主非常满意。总之，同种异体移植是治疗软骨下骨囊肿的一种很有前途的技术。
