Core Tip	This retrospective study evaluated Missouri osteochondral preservation system (MOPS) allograft transplantation for symptomatic knee chondral lesions. MOPS preserves chondrocyte viability, which may contribute to improved graft incorporation and functional outcomes. Patients showed significant, sustained improvements in functional scores, with excellent radiographic incorporation and no evidence of deterioration at two years. These results support the safety and efficacy of MOPS allografts for long-term knee cartilage repair.
