ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the repair methods for the cartilage defects of the knee joint. Methods The cylindrical osteochondral grafts were harvested from the non-weight-bearing area of the knee joint and then transplanted to the cartilage defects in 6 patients with cartilage defects of the knee joint. Results The clinical symptoms of all the patients followed up for 2-24 months disappeared and the joint mobility recovered to normal. A follow-up MRI showed consistent cartilage coverage and the excellent position of the cylindrical osteochondral grafts. Conclusions The osteochondral autograft is a practical surgical method because it is characterized by less trauma, simple performance and good maintenance of the curvature of the articular surface.
