Popis: Osteochondral defects in the young active patient remain a difficult issue to treat. Autograft cartilage implantation is a procedure that was originally devised as a difficult 2-stage process, with disadvantages including donor-site morbidity and the need for multiple procedures. Recently, a technique for a single stage autograft cartilage transfer, also known as AutoCart using the GraftNet device for autograft harvest and BioCartilage in addition to bone marrow concentrate to aid in graft incorporation and healing, has been described. In this article, we discuss a modification of this autograft cartilage transfer procedure using a minimally invasive single incision for lesion preparation, microfracture, graft harvest, and graft delivery using visualization from the NanoScope.
