Osteochondral Allograft for Ankle Cartilage Defects
Lesions on the talus larger than 15mm fail with microfracture repair; osteochondral allograft instead restores thecartilageand bone using donor tissue, achieving 85% survivorship at ten years.Lesions on the talus larger than 15mm fail with microfracture repair; osteochondral allograft instead restores the cartilage and bone using donor tissue, achieving 85% survivorship at ten years.
