Abstract

Objectives: Osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation is an effective treatment method for articular cartilage damage in the knee. The mid- and long-term outcomes of patellofemoral OCA transplantation has been less frequently reported compared to those of the medial and lateral compartments of the knee, and these grafts often show lower survival rates and worse patient-reported outcomes. The unique morphology and biomechanics of the patellofemoral compartment leads to different pathologies than other areas of the knee. The purpose of this study was to assess graft survivorship and patient-
