Abstract
This chapter will show the transplantation of osteochondral cylinders from a non-weight-bearing area of the knee joint to the area of damage and focal lesion with different sizes of diamond wet grinding, hollow reamer, or a smooth-surface micro-cutter as osteochondral autograft transfer with small cylinders (OATS) or big sizes (mega OATS).
