Figure 1 Intra-operative images demonstrating an ICRS grade 4 lesion.
A: Patella; B: Preparing the lesion site; C: Progressing to the transplantation of the allograft.
Figure 2 Non-contrast magnetic resonance showing sagittal and axial T2 slices.
A-C: Patella at pre-operative state (A), at 6 months post-operative (B), and at 1-year post-operation (C), demonstrating a retained osteochondral allograft with maintained articular congruity and intact subchondral bone bed with overall improved fluid accumulation at the base of the allograft.
