Recently we have experienced 3 patients which treated by method of transplanting and fixing their own articular cartilage with bone pegs made from their tibial bone.
Three cases consists of an osteochondral fracture, an osteochondritis dissecans and an osteochondritis necroses.
Particularly for the patient of osteonecrosis situating on medial femoral condyle and medial tibial plateau, we have treated by tibio-femoral joint. Postoperatively two patients of the former have normal range of motion without pain, while the later of three has no pain showing a little disturbance in the movement of the knee joint.
