Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Treatment of Medial Femoral Condyle Defect
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 unicompartmen...
متن کاملArthroscopically-assisted reduction and fixation of an old osteochondral fracture of the lateral femoral condyle
BACKGROUND Osteochondral fracture (OCF) of the lateral femoral condyle has a low incidence and old OCF is even more rarely seen; it is difficult to differentiate from late osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). CASE REPORT In this report, we present the case of a 20-year-old male patient with an old OCF of the lateral femoral condyle. The possible etiology of OCF is discussed, along with its clinic...
متن کاملAutogenous osteochondral grafts for osteonecrosis of the femoral condyle.
PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term outcome following use of osteochondral autografts for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral condyle. METHODS Clinical, radiographic and arthroscopic findings were evaluated at follow-up. Patients were 14 women and 2 men, with a mean age of 64.9 years (range, 58-74 years). The osteochondral lesion was equivalent to Lotke 1-B in 12 knees, and was equiva...
متن کاملAll Arthroscopic Suture-Bridge Fixation of a Delaminated Chondral Fragment
Introduction Articular cartilage lines the surface of joints and transmits the forces generated with joint loading. When damaged, it has poor healing potential. Conditions such as osteochondritis dissecans, trauma, and occasionally avascular necrosis, can create free or detached fragments of articular cartilage with varying amounts of attached subchondral bone. Detached fragments require operat...
متن کاملOsteochondral fractures of the lateral femoral condyle: a result of indirect violence to the knee.
Twenty patients with an average age of eighteen and a half years sustained osteochondral fractures of the lateral femoral condyle as the result of a sudden twist and valgus strain to the straight or almost straight knee. All the patients felt sudden pain at the moment of injury, all had a haemarthrosis, and yet the fracture escaped early diagnosis in one-third of the cases. Internal fixation of...
