Histological evidence of successful internal fixation for traumatic chondral fracture of the femoral groove

Histological evidence of successful internal fixation for traumatic chondral fracture of the femoral groove

Isolated chondral fractures without cancellous bone have limited healing potential. We reattached a chondral fragment without cancellous bone using bone pegs for chondral fracture of the femoral groove in a 13-year-old boy.
