Abstract

The article describes the case of a 38-year-old woman with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) who underwent an osteochondral autograft for localized chondral lesions of bilateral medial femoral condyles (MFC) in order to preserve the articular surface and joint function. It reports on the 10-year follow-up of this procedure which is believed to be the first report of an osteochondral autograft for chondral lesions of the knee in a patient with MED.
