Purpose:
To report the staged management of a large posterior lateral femoral condyle OCD lesion culminating in osteochondral allograft transplantation.
Summary:
A complex-case reference for demonstrating the versatility of fresh allograft in rare or unsalvageable OCD presentations.
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.
