MRI revealed an unstable osteochondral lesion. Because of time pressure due to the patient’s academic exams and his schedule as a basketball player, an autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT) as the standard surgical treatment plan was not accepted by the patient. This was mainly because of its two-step character three weeks in between surgeries. Therefore, a surgical one-step therapy option as alternative treatment to ACT was needed.

Several different procedures are used for the treatment of cartilage defects. The following factors play a significant role: defect size, location, patient age, and sports ambitions. In the case described here, ACT would have been the conventional, but not the ideal option in the perspective of this individual patient because of the two-step surgery and the longer rehabilitation time.
