Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of this study is to test the ability of an allograft plug to provide a successful repair of an osteochondral defect left at the harvest site during OATS procedure.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this study is to determine how effective a plug made out of human bone (called "CR-Plug") will be in the treatment at the site that your tissue was removed, thereby filling the hole created during the OATS procedure.At the present, OATS is used for knee articular cartilage defects or injuries smaller than the size of a dime (or 2.5 cm2) in the areas that bear weight have been commonly treated by using a tiny cylinder of the subjects' own tissue called an osteochondral autograft (OATS).
