Abstract
Mosaicplasty (osteochondral autograft transplantation surgery) refers to the process of obtaining small osteochondral cylinders from non-weight bearing regions at the periphery of the femoral condyles and transferring them to prepared recipient sites on weight bearing surfaces (1). Th is technique was originally developed for the treatment of patients with full-thickness osteochondral lesions of the weight bearing articular surface. The mosaicplasty technique has also been utilized successfully for the stabilization and treatment of osteochondral fragments such as osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions (2).
