ABSTRACT
We present a case report of a man in his 20s with osteochondritis dissecans of the talus, treated with autologous transplantation of a vascularised osteochondral flap. The patient with high level of activity presented to our orthopaedic outpatient department for progressive limping and pain, mainly related to sports. An osteochondritis dissecans grade IV of the medial talus was identified by MRI. A microvascular transfer of osteochondral tissue was performed successfully. At follow-up 1 year after surgery, the MRI examination revealed vital cartilage; the patient was free of pain and had returned to his previous level of activity.
