Abstract
Microfracture procedure has been widely recognized as the primary surgical treatment for an osteochondral lesion of the talus. However, if symptoms persist after initial surgery, selection of a secondary procedure can be difficult. The author desciribes the advantage and value of autologous osteochondral transplantation as a secondary procedure after failed microfracture for osteochondral lesion with a review of sevral previous published articles.
