Allograft or Autograft for Large Knee Cartilage Defects
Defect size is the primary determinant inkneecartilage repair: below 4 cm², autograft transfer from low-load zones is standard; above that threshold, cadaveric allograft removes the biological supply ceiling.Defect size is the primary determinant in knee cartilage repair: below 4 cm², autograft transfer from low-load zones is standard; above that threshold, cadaveric allograft removes the biological supply ceiling.
