Video Summary

In this video, the speaker expresses gratitude to various individuals and committees for the opportunity to present their paper. They discuss the success and low failure rates of osteochondral graft transplantation when performed appropriately. The main question addressed is whether the size of the defect and the ratio of defect size to condylar area impact the outcomes of the procedure. The study analyzes patients who underwent isolated osteochondral allograft transplantation of the medial or lateral femoral condyle. The results show that larger defect size and higher defect size to condyle ratio may lead to worse outcomes, particularly in older patients. Overall, the study concludes that osteochondral allograft transplantation has a high success rate, but caution should be exercised in older patients with larger defects relative to the size of the condyle.
