Osteochondral lesion located at the lateral femoral condyle reconstructed by the transplantation of tissue-engineered cartilage in combination with a periosteum with bone block: a case report.
We report herein the successful treatment of a patient with an osteochondral defect extending to the edge of the lateral femoral condyle by transplantation of tissue-engineered cartilage made ex vivo using atelocollagen gel covered by periosteum with a bone block to reconstruct the normal contour of the femoral condyle.
