Abstract

Osteochondral allograft ankle transplantation [1] seems to provide a very innovative and viable alternative for the treatment of post-traumatic ankle arthrosis in selected individuals, mostly in young and active patients. The rationale behind this surgical procedure is essentially the transplanation of intact organ as hyaline articular cartilage, into a diseased or damaged area of the joint resulting in improved function [2]. According to our knowledge, there are no studies that report the functional evaluation of reconstructed ankle biomechanics, using this innovative osteochondral allografting. The aim of our study was to evaluate gait analysis results of young and active patients that underwent osteochondral allograft ankle transplantation.
