@entity2720 in 16 adults were treated with an autologous osteochondral graft from the base of the second metacarpal, the radial styloid, the base of the third metacarpal or the trapezoid and these @entity1 were followed up from between 12 and 62 months. There was no donor site morbidity. One @entity1 had resorption of the graft and developed @entity158 . The joint was subsequently fused. The mean range of movement was 55.8% of the opposite normal joint. At follow up, 15 @entity1 had no discomfort or mild discomfort. Three had mild narrowing of the joint space and two had @entity2720 . Only two @entity1 with concomitant severe injury to the same limb had difficulty performing daily activities. Ten were open injuries and these had poorer outcomes. A hemicondylar defect of a finger joint can be treated using an osteochondral graft obtained from the same hand.
