Two-stage treatment of type 4 osteochondritis dissecans of the knee

Abstract

We used a new surgical method in the treatment of a 19-year-old male patient with large osteochondritis dissecans involving the lateral femoral condyle of the knee joint. The osteochondral fragment was too comminuted to allow reattachment and the bone defect was considerably large in size, preventing autogenous osteochondral grafting. A two-staged surgical treatment was performed. In the first stage, the osseous defect was reconstructed using an autogenous corticocancellous iliac bone graft. In the second stage, after the graft union, an autogenous osteochondral graft was transplanted over the same area for the reconstruction of chondral defect. In the postoperative follow-up examination in the seventh month, the patient was symptomless, with full range of knee movements.
