In experimental study (11 dogs, 21 knee joints) comparative analysis of small-size cylindrical bonecartilagenous auto- and allografts was performed. The grafts were transferred into full-thickness femoral articular condyle defects in forms of inlay. Data obtained showed that articular surface of autografts preserved the main features of the hyaline cartilagenous tissue up to 1 year follow-up. In free and preserved allografts the similar remodelling process took place. By 4 months remodeling process was completed and articular surfaces were substituted by fibro-cartilagenous tissue. Application of auto- and allografts for the inlay plasty allowed to substitute the vast defects of knee articular cartilage in animals. Outlook of clinical application of inlay auto-alloplasty with arthroscopic technique was noted.
