Description

Recently, osteochondral transplantation (mosaicplasty) has been widely used to treat patients with articular cartilage lesions. Although many studies have reported that this transplantation successfully replaces the cartilage lesion with intact hyaline cartilage harvested from a donor site, no report has focused on physical therapy programs after transplantation. The lesion sites and size of the transplantation are quite different in each case. Therefore, different physical therapy programs should be planned for each case. In the present case, we report a specific postoperative physical evaluation and therapeutic exercise program. It is important to devise a program which takes into consideration the position and pressure on the contact surface of the transplantation for knee cartilage lesions, and also one which pays attention to knee joint angle in muscular strengthening exercises and weight bearing exercises.
