There are currently many techniques for performing articular cartilage repair. The Denovo NT Allograft is a one-stage cartilage repair technique that utilizes particulate juvenile cartilage allograft. Having an understanding of this technique would add to the armamentarium of the surgeons performing articular cartilage repair. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to explain the basic science of the Denovo NT allograft and the rationale for its use, discuss the indications, describe the surgical techniques, and examine the early clinical literature that is available.
