    Autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) is a single-stage procedure effective for treating osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT).

  • 2

    Long-term outcomes of AOT for OLT show good to excellent results in up to 87% of patients, with low reoperation and failure rates.

  • 3

    Patients undergoing AOT reported satisfactory clinical and radiologic outcomes, assessed through patient-reported outcomes and MOCART scoring.

  • 4

    The study included patients aged 16-60 who had chronic ankle pain due to OLT and failed non-operative treatment for at least 12 weeks.

  • 5

    AOT restores a biomechanically stable environment by transplanting autologous osteochondral dowels, improving quality of life and athletic performance.
