Fresh osteochondral allografts for post-traumatic osteochondral defects of the knee

We used fresh small-fragment osteochondral allografts to reconstruct post-traumatic osteochondral defects in 126 knees of 123 patients with a mean age of 35 years. At a mean follow-up of 7.5 years (2 to 20), 108 knees were rated as successful (85%) and 18 had failed (15%).
