Brief Summary

A case-series review was performed on five collegiate athletes with osteochondral lesions of the knee at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). All subjects received surgical intervention to treat the defect. The surgeries performed were either an Osteoarticular Transfer System (OATS) procedure and/or a Microfracturing procedure. Subjects were treated post-operatively by the CSUN team physical therapist and/or athletic trainers at CSUN. This paper seeks to provide information about osteochondral defects of the knee, the surgical interventions, and a protocol for post-operative treatment and rehabilitation of such injuries.
