Key Takeaways:

• This case report details a rare posterior lateral femoral condyle OCD lesion managed with staged treatment and eventual osteochondral allograft transplantation.
• It illustrates how fresh allograft can be used when lesion location, size, and prior intervention make conventional options less reliable.
• The publication is particularly compelling because it shows restoration in an atypical, technically demanding location.
