Abstract:
Although treatment options for unstable and unsalvageable large osteochondral lesions have largely been limited to autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) and osteochondral allografts, isolated impaction bone grafting represents a cost-friendly alternative, with predictable outcomes comparable to other options. Furthermore, the procedure can be completed in a single stage on an elective basis. We present our technique for impaction bone grafting of unstable osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) using either cancellous autograft or allograft.
