[Retropatellar autologous cartilage-bone transplantation. A treatment option in severe cartilage damage].
In a 32 years old professional handball layer, the micro-traumata typical of this game led to retropatellar cartilage lesion, which became sympthomatic following an distortion-impact trauma. Since the patient remains symptomatic after initial conservative treatment as well as arthroscopic chondroplastic, osteo-chondral transplantation was performed. There was a good functional result 6 months after surgery.
