They occur both through chronic repetitive loading of the knee joint or through acute traumatic injury and represent a major cause of pain and time lost from sport. They can arise as isolated lesions or in association with concomitant knee pathology. Management of these defects ultimately requires a sound understanding of their pathophysiologic underpinnings to help guide treatment. Team physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for underlying cartilage lesions in any patient presenting with a knee effusion, whether painful or not. A thorough workup should include a complete history and physical examination. MRI is the most sensitive and specific imaging modality to assess these lesions and can provide intricate detail not only of the structure and composition of cartilage, but also of the surrounding physiological environment in the joint. Treatment of these lesions consists of both conservative or supportive measures, as well as surgical interventions designed to restore or regenerate healthy cartilage. Because of the poor inherent capacity for healing associated with hyaline cartilage, the vast majority of symptomatic lesions will ultimately require surgery. Surgical treatment options range from simple arthroscopic debridement to large osteochondral reconstructions. Operative decision-making is based on numerous patient- and defect-related factors and requires open lines of communication between the athlete, the surgeon, and the rest of the treatment team. Ultimately, a positive outcome is based on the creation of a durable, resistant repair that allows the athlete to return to pain-free sporting activities.</p>","PeriodicalId":49481,"journal":{"name":"Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141560202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
