Abstract
Cartilage injuries can be treated through conservative or surgical approaches upon evaluation of the lesion. In surgical approach, arthroscopic treatment has proven to be both very popular and efficient. Through arthroscopy, treatment options such as lavage, chondral shaving, debridement, microfracture, abrasion, and chondroplasty have been successfully performed in patients with appropriate indications.
