Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Large Osteochondral Lesions of the Femoral Head in Young Patients
Young patients with large chondral lesions of the femoral head may benefit from fresh OCA transplantation, but failure rates remain quite high for this challenging patient population. OCA can be considered as a useful treatment option that preserves function and delays the need for arthroplasty in young individuals with osteochondral lesions of the femoral head.
