Core Tip
Core Tip: Defect treatment with tendon autograft in osteochondral lesions has been published in the literature with an experimental study in dogs. However, to date, only one case in the capitellum of the elbow has been scientifically published in humans. This retrospective study shows that knee osteochondral lesions are possible with tendon autograft transplantation technique.
