The author suggests filling the defect under the cartilage with bone marrow to treat these diseases. For this purpose he opens the medullary cavity of the tibia with two longitudinal, 3 cm. long, and one transverse, 11/2 cm. long, incisions, gently lifts up the bone flap with an elevator so as not to break it, and takes the marrow.
