Abstract
To improve the treatment results of patients with osteochondral defects of large joints. A prospective study was conducted on 30 animals (60 knee joints) aged 1.5-3 years. All animals were divided into 3 groups of 10 each, depending on the method of replacement of the osteo-chondral defect. 6 months after intervention using the proposed method, a good prognosis can be given and good long-term results expected despite the full axial load on the joint a few hours after the operation.
