Abstract
Treatment of chondral and osteochondral knee lesions in young patients remains a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The repair techniques currently available in Brazil, such as debridement, microfracture and autologous osteochondral transplantation are insufficient for treating large chondral and osteochondral lesions. Fresh homologous osteochondral transplants have been used in the knee joint in the United States with excellent results. This article had the aims of reviewing the basic science, indi cations, surgical techniques and possible complications and describing the technique of fresh homologous osteochondral transplantation in the knee joint, performed in the Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Hospital das Clinicas, Univer sity of Sao Paulo.
