Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation in Professional Athletes: Rehabilitation and Return to Play

For the treatment of large chondral and osteochondral defects of the knee, osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) is an effective solution with relatively high rates of return to sport. In professional athletes, rehabilitation following OCA is a critical component of the process of returning...
