|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knee-to-elbow osteochondral autologous transplantation ( | ||||
| Yamamoto | No | No effusion | No pain | – |
| Iwasaki | No | Effusion up to 5 weeks in 8 pts (mean: 3 weeks); full range of motion; thigh and calf girth 100% | Lysholm 99.6 (range 96–100), IKDC normal, 1 pt had knee pain with stair climbing at final follow-up | MRI: 50–100% defect fill in 6 pts (67%), normal signals in 4 pts at donor sites (44%), effusion in 1 pt, no subchondral edema or hypertrophic changes at donor site |
| Ovesen | No | – | No pain | – |
| Nishimura | No | No effusion at 3 months; 80% muscle strength at 6 months, 11 pts regained strength at 1 year | Lysholm 100 at 6 months; Visual Analog Scale 0 at 3 months; 100% return to sports without any donor knee disturbances | Radiographs: absence of osteoarthritis at 2 years |

Fig. 2Forest plot analysis demonstrating donor-site morbidity proportions after capitellar osteochondral autologous transplantation. The proportion of donor-site morbidity in the knee-to-elbow group was 0.04 (95% CI 0.0–0.15), and the proportion in the rib-to-elbow group was 0.01 (95% CI 0.0–0.06). There was no difference between harvest techniques in terms of proportion of donor-site morbidity (n.s.)
