Fresh Osteochondral Allograft for Large Talar Osteochondral Lesions

Purpose:

To review indications, surgical technique considerations, and graft-related issues for large talar osteochondral lesions treated with fresh allograft.

Summary:

An ankle-focused review that supports fresh allograft as a restorative option for large, structural talar lesions.

Key Takeaways:

• This article focuses on large talar osteochondral lesions where restorative treatment must address both cartilage and subchondral bone.
• It is particularly relevant for cystic, revision, or shoulder lesions that may outstrip the predictability of marrow stimulation or smaller graft options.
• The paper is useful for explaining why fresh allograft can be an ankle-preserving solution in select high-complexity cases.
