Abstract
Mosaicplasty is a relatively challenging procedure used in the management of focal osteochondral lesions of the joints. Donor-site morbidity is still the main concern after mosaicplasty because it entails the harvesting of an osteochondral autograft from an otherwise healthy region to be impacted later on the weight-bearing damaged site. We describe a possible alternative to conventional mosaicplasty with subchondral bone support harvested from the iliac crest as an osteoperiosteal autograft and covered with a minced cartilage layer.
