Abstract:
The system consists of hooked wires, anchoring screws, and bolts, which provide compression to the osteochondral fragments and prevent pin migration. In 10 patients followed for 4 (3-5) years, all the knees had normal, painless function, with complete healing of all but one of the fragments; the exception was a small chondral fragment, which was removed arthroscopically.
