OATS for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus
Lesions larger than approximately 150 mm² fail bone marrow stimulation treatment 97% of the time. OATS transplants genuine hyaline cartilage to replace the weakening fibrocartilage scar that microfracture produces in larger defects.Lesions larger than approximately 150 mm² fail bone marrow stimulation treatment 97% of the time.
