A Late Osteochondritis of Femoral Condyle Treated by Modified Autoplastic Grafting of Wagner
Abstract
Background: Osteochondritis is a necrotic involvement of the subchondral bone and cartilage opposite. Its most common location is the medial femoral condyle. The technique of Wagner’s autoplastic grafting was modified or adapted to a limited technical platform. To share an unusual experience with the scientific community.
Summary: A dissected osteochondritis of the left femoral condyle was diagnosed in a 15-year-old patient. The treatment was a modified open-centre surgery according to Wagner. The results were satisfactory in both immediate and late post-surgery.
Discussion: The classic Wagner technique uses a unique plugin that is fixed by patching. In this work, the graft was triple and fixed by screws.
Conclusion: The working conditions can lead to the use of a modified classical technique.
