Abstract
Cutting-tip profile is an important factor in determining the extent of marginal death in circular osteochondral grafts. We have designed and assessed an alternative cutting-tip, which caused significantly less marginal death than the commercially available Acufex. We conclude that there is scope for improvement of osteochondral harvest techniques.
