AbstractA 21-year-old man experienced an open knee injury with a subtotal loss of the medial part of the distal femur. After an initial debridement of the wound we performed 48 hours post injury an allogeneic transplantation of the condyle of the femur. The wound healed by first intention and no signs of rejection were noted. The bone transplant hadn't been treated specifically prior to the transplantation and the patient didn't receive any immunodepressive drugs. 18 months later, the patient is able to flex the knee joint up to 120 degrees and to extend it completely. The overall result is excellent.
