Abstract

The article presents a study which was carried out to evaluate the potential of a biomimetic osteochondral scaffold for treating osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) by analyzing the results obtained at two-year follow-up. It mentions that 27 consecutive patients who were affected by symptomatic knee OCD of the femoral condyles were employed in the study. It concludes that the biomimetic osteochondral scaffold proved to be a valid treatment option for knee OCD.
