| Summary: | Osteochondritis dissecans of the hip is a rare condition with limited treatment options. For patients who have undergone arthroscopic microfracture and chondroplasty, long-term results showing clinical improvement are scarce. Although open osteochondral grafting is a demanding and invasive procedure, promising results are reported after short-term follow-up. We present a technique for an arthroscopic autologous osteochondral transplantation with a graft from the ipsilateral knee to the femoral head. |
