Between 1980 and 1996, 9 patients with osteocartilagenous lesions of the talus were treated surgically using fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation. In 8 cases the reason for surgery was osteochondritis dissecans (4 of these cases had a previous traumatic injury). In 1 case a fresh osteochondral allograft of the talus was required following a traumatic open fracture of the talus sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Of these 9 grafts, 6 grafts remain in situ with a mean survival of 11 years (range 4 to 19). In the three cases requiring fusion the reason for surgery was not related to arthritic deterioration but due to resorption and fragmentation of the graft.
