Abstract:
Arthroscopic osteochondral autografting is indicated for unipolar, full thickness articular cartilage lesions between 1 and 2.5 cm in diameter. A stable properly aligned knee is important to a good outcome. This procedure should not be performed in the presence of generalized osteoarthritis. Arthroscopic osteochondral autografting allows the restoration of hyaline articular cartilage with zonal matching of the graft. It is cost-effective, can be performed on an outpatient basis, and results in durable resurfacing with excellent long-term results.
