We present the case of a 31-year-old male with debilitating post-traumatic arthritis of the ankle secondary to osteonecrosis of the tibial plafond. He was treated with a custom-cut tibial osteochondral allograft transplantation. At 1-year follow-up, radiographs confirmed incorporation of the graft. He had demonstrated significant improvement in terms of both subjective pain and functionality of the ankle and was ready to return to work. Our observation in this case suggests that osteochondral allograft implantation may be a viable alternative treatment in cases of ankle arthritis in the younger patient.
