Case report: Free autologous costal cartilage transplantation for osteochondral lesions of the talus: three cases with 2–5 years follow-up
Free ACCT is a feasible method for improving ankle function and quality of life for at least 2 years in patients with OLT. Promising long-term outcomes may be possible because of the good integration between the recipient talus and the implanted ACCT.
