  • Title: Mosaicplasty for the treatment of the osteochondral lesion in the femoral head.
    Author: Emre TY, Cift H, Seyhan B, Ceyhan E, Uzun M.
    Journal: Bull NYU Hosp Jt Dis; 2012; 70(4):288-90. PubMed ID: 23267459.
    Abstract:
    Osteochondral defects of the femoral head are rare and principles of treatment include anatomic reduction, rigid fixation, enhancement of blood supply, and restoration of articular congruity. In this report, we present a case where the defect of the femoral head was treated with surgical dislocation of hip anteriorly and mosaicplasty. At 3-year follow-up, the patient was symptom free with near complete incorporation of the graft radiographically. Our observations in this case suggest that mosaicplasty with an open approach is an alternative treatment in the osteochondral defects of the femoral head.
